Abstract
A device for gel electrophoresis is provided having larger wells for loading an increased sample volume with improved gel resolution. The device includes a gel cassette having a front plate and a back plate, wherein at least one plate has a stepped inner surface to create a wider opening at the top of the gel cassette, a gel matrix, and a comb with teeth having a thickness substantially equal to the spacing at the top opening of the gel cassette. Using this device, the sample volume in each well can be increased and the sample height in each well can be significantly reduced, as compared to loading the same volume in the wells of a standard gel cassette.
