C. Set-up of Unit for Sequencing Gel Casting
1. Side panels with black numbers depicting back plate
thickness must be screwed in so either the 1/8”
or 3/16” arrow points up. (in photo at right the
correct position for a back plate width of 1/8” is
shown.). This important step assures there is the
proper offset on your glass plate assembly for opti-
mal gel casting. (Note: Gel Slider is shipped in the
3/16” position). If your back glass plate thickness
is 1/8”, unscrew white thumb screws and place 1/8”
arrow pointing up and re-tighten screws (as shown
by red arrow). If your back glass plate is 3/16”
unscrew white thumb screws and place 3/16” arrow
pointing up.
2. Level Gel Slider by using level provided and adjust-
ing leveling feet.
