Electrode Assembly

The electrode assembly holds the gel

sandwich. It houses the sealing gasket,

the upper and lower electrodes, and the

connecting banana plugs. The anode

(lower electrode) banana plug is identified

with a red marker and the cathode (upper

electrode) banana plug with a black marker.

Companion Assembly

The companion assembly allows you to run

gels 3 and 4. It holds the gel sandwich and

houses the sealing gasket.

Mini Tank and Lid

The mini tank and lid combine to fully

enclose the inner chamber during

electrophoresis. The lid cannot be removed

without disrupting the electrical circuit.

The mini tank and lid are also compatible

with other Bio-Rad electrode modules

for blotting, first-dimension of 2-D

electrophoresis, and electroelution.
