Running the Gel
1.
Attach plate set(s) to unit with
smaller or notched plate facing 
towards the upper buffer reservoir. If 
using a pre-cast gel stored at 4
°C,
allow to warm to room temperature. 
Use white clamps with mouth open 
(cat. # GPC-0001) to attach plate 
set to unit, clamping each side to 
the sandwich.  
 
 
2.
Pour freshly prepared buffer in
upper and lower chamber. Using a 
pipette or syringe, thoroughly flush 
out the wells in the glass plate 
sandwich with buffer from the upper 
chamber. Boil or heat samples and 
then place immediately on ice. Load 
samples. If outer lanes do not 
contain sample, it is recommended 
that you run standards (Rainbow™ 
standards can be monitored easily 
during run) and/or fill outer lanes 
with loading buffer to reduce smiling 
and wrap-around effects. 
 
3. Attach safety cover.
