Accessories
6.1 Use of Gel Sheets and Gel Positioning
The Gel Sheets (reorder part number 165-7018) are designed to be used with individual gels for
both handling and for protecting the thick plastic Cutting Mat on the spot cutter platform. The Gel
Sheet has a thin protective film on it. Peel this film off the Gel Sheet before use. When the gel is in
a container of water, pick up the gel and place it on the Gel Sheet on the bench. The Gel Sheet
and gel are then placed on the Cutting Mat, positioned towards the right side of the cutting
platform on the spot cutter, near the microtiter plate.
A Gel Holding Bar should be positioned on the top and bottom sides of the gel or blot, resting on
the edge of the gel and on the plastic Gel Sheet.
