ABSTRACT:
The claimed multi-tank gel developing apparatus and method comprises of two inner tanks within one outer tank to develop multiple electrophoresis gels simultaneously. The two inner tanks have openings along the edges of the walls to allow free circulation of solutions between the inner and outer tanks. The solution maybe exchanged by lifting out the inner tanks which retains the gels inside while the solution drains out. Once the solution in the outer tank has been exchanged, the inner tanks can be re-immersed into the outer tank. Furthermore, the inner tanks have detachable bases to facilitate transfer of the gels after development. This claimed apparatus allows for efficient development of electrophoresis gels by minimizing the direct handling of the gels thereby avoiding unwanted damages often incurred by conventional manually developing methods and apparatuses. The multi-tank apparatus can accommodate various gel compositions and sizes.
