ABSTRACT:
A gel electrophoresis cassette for conducting gel electrophoresis separations. The cassette has a first plate, a second plate spaced apart from the first plate by spacer members, and an electrophoresis gel layer between the plates. The second plate is plastic and has lane dividers molded integrally therewith. The lane dividers are in releasable sealing engagement with the first plate, the releasable sealing engagement being provided by a means selected from the group consisting of (1) a film carrier coated on each side with a pressure sensitive adhesive and (2) ultrasonic welding. A niche is provided in one of the spacer members, the niche being effectively sized and positioned to receive the tip of an instrument such as a screwdriver effective to pry apart the plates after the gel is run so the gel layer can be removed for analysis.
