Claim 14:
15. A gel tray comprising:
a plastic body with plural parallel gel channels into which unmodified bacteria and genetically modified bacteria can be added along with appropriate reaction constituents to demonstrate transformation of the bacteria under visualization; and
a seal placed on top surfaces of the plastic body and gel channels to prevent fluid communication between the gel channels, wherein the gel channels are separated from each other by raised elongated ribs that are parallel to the gel channels and that are elongated in a same dimension as the gel channels are elongated, outer gel channels being bounded by respective vertical sidewalls of the body, the inner gel channels being bounded on both sides by ribs, top edges of the ribs being substantially co-planar with top edges of the sidewalls, a flat top load flange extending from sidewall to sidewall along one end of the body and a top surface of the flange being substantially co-planar with the top edges of the sidewalls such that when the seal is placed over the gel channels, the seal contacts the top surfaces of the ribs, sidewalls, and flange to establish isolation of the gel channels from each other.
