Important Note: Do not attempt to lock the green arms of the

clamping frame, without first ensuring that the gel cassettes are

perfectly aligned and stabilized against the notches on the green

gaskets of the module. To prevent the gels from shifting during

the locking step, firmly and evenly grip them in place against the

core of the module with one hand.

Caution: When running 1 or 2 gels only, do not place the

companion running Module in the tank. Doing so will cause

excessive heat generation and prevent electrophoretic

separation.
