Lock the sealing plate into the closed position by
engaging each tab in its topmost notch (Fig 9).
Hang the module from the narrow side of the tank or
stand it on the benchtop to cast the gel (Fig 10).
When hanging the module on the tank, either fill the
tank or hang the second module on the other side as
a counterbalance.
Pouring the resolving gel
Prepare the monomer solution.
Pipet the solution into the sandwich slowly so that
it flows along a spacer, taking care not to trap any
air pockets.
No stacking gel
Fill the solution to the desired level and then
insert a comb, at a slight angle, into the sand-
wich, taking care not to trap air under the teeth.
Note: To test for alignment, pass
a corner of the Wonder Wedge
across the bottom edge of the
spacers and glass plates. If an
edge “catches,” realign. Check
both sides.
