Separator Sheets
The sheets have a protective film on both sides which should be
removed before use.
Wonder Wedge
The Wonder Wedge is helpful to pry apart the glass plates after
electrophoresis.
Gel Seal
Gel seal is used in the separation tank to lubricate the channels for
the PAGE rack, and help it slide into place. If the PAGE rack starts to
stick as it is inserted into the tank, apply a thin layer of gel seal to the
inside of the four channels with a gloved finger.
Gel seal is also used on the gasket in the multiple gel caster.
Plate Rack
The plate rack (SE914) may be ordered separately. It is very conve-
nient to hold the glass cassettes during assembly of the multiple gel
caster, and when applying IPG strips to the top of the second dimen-
sion gels.
