ABSTRACT:
A multiple gel destaining apparatus is disclosd, in which the gels are laid out horizontally in a series of trays arranged in a stack. Each tray accommodates either one slab gel or one layer of tube gels. The trays are of interchangeable construction, and designed with appropriately placed openings for fluid passage so that destaining fluid flows through the tray stack in a serpentine path, sweeping one tray then sweeping the next in the opposite direction. The tray stack is submerged in a tank with continuous circulation of destaining fluid, arranged to draw the fluid downward through the stack, outward through a filter at the bottom of the tank, and upward along the sides of the tank to the top of the stack.
