Patent CA-2489725-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCOTT BRADLEY S
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 2003-06-17
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented that facilitate electrophoresis of prior - cast, hydratable separation media, usefully immbobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips. The method exploits the swelling of prior-cast, hydratable separatio n media upon rehydration to help lodge the media in an enclosing member (10) that permits spaced electrical communication with the enclosed separation media. The electrical communication permits a voltage gradient to be established in the enclosed separation medium sufficient to effect separatio n of analytes therein. Cassettes (100), buffer cores (126), electrophoresis systems and kits are presented for effecting the methods of the invention.</ SDOAB>
