ABSTRACT:
An electrophoresis apparatus which overcomes the safety problems of the conventional apparatus by including a screen for preventing the operator from contacting the exposed surface of the gel chamber to avoid burns or electric shock. Shock due to contact with buffer solutions is also avoided by use of a power engaging mechanism which prevents the operator from accessing either of the buffer reservoirs when one or both of the buffer solutions are connected to the power source. The power engaging mechanism ensures that it is only possible to connect the buffer solutions to the power source when both reservoir covers are in their closed positions.
