Abstract
An apparatus for clamping electrophoresis gel cassettes to a buffer core body is provided that does not require separate clamping subassemblies. The apparatus comprises a cam pivotally coupled to a mounting block. The apparatus is inserted into an electrophoresis container and is positioned adjacent a buffer core assembly that includes gel cassettes disposed on opposite sides of a buffer core body. The cam is disposed to engage a back wall of the container to cause the mounting block to apply uniform pressure to secure the gel cassettes to the buffer core body. A method for securing an electrophoresis gel cassette to a buffer core body in an electrophoresis container is also disclosed.
