Claim 0:
1. A device for capturing one or more macromolecules from an electrophoretic gel, the device comprising:
a. a substantially electrically resistive support frame having a top, a bottom, a first side and a second side, defining a first open area and a second open area, the second open area positioned opposite the first open area; the support frame configured to fit into a laneway or an extraction well of the electrophoretic gel;
b. a substantially electrically resistive aperture membrane having a through-hole positioned in a central area, the aperture membrane covering the second open area of the support frame and the through-hole having a surface area that is less than the surface area defined by the dimensions of the support frame or defined by the cross-sectional area of the electrophoretic gel; and
c. a recovery membrane positioned adjacent to the aperture membrane and covering the through-hole of the aperture membrane, the recovery membrane having a surface area that is perpendicular to the direction of an electric field applied to the electrophoretic gel.
