Buffer chambers. Both buffer chambers are
chemically resistant to common electrophoretic
buffers but not to organic solvents or strong
acids and alkalis.
Safety lid. The lid contains both electrodes and
both electrode connectors. The electrode connec-
tors plug into the lead connectors on the lower
buffer chamber. The color-coded leads plug into
color-coded jacks on the power supply.
Glass plates. Two 18-cm wide glass plates are
included. Plates for the SE400 are 16 cm long,
and plates for the SE410 are 24 cm long.
(A notched divider plate, ordered separately,
can be used to run two gels at the same time.)
Clamps. Two 16-cm clamps are required to
secure the 16 cm long sandwich. These and an
additional pair of 8-cm clamps are required to
secure a 24-cm long sandwich.
Casting stand. The caster can be leveled with
the adjustable leveling feet on the bottom of the
unit. A laminated gasket seals the bottom of
the glass plate assembly when it is locked into
the stand.
Cams. Cams are used twice; first to secure the
assembled sandwich in the casting stand and
again to lock the sandwich and the upper buffer
chamber together.
Rubber gaskets. There are two gaskets. The
laminated gasket fits into the bottom of the cast-
ing stand and provides the seal for the bottom
of the gel sandwich. The slotted gasket fits
under the upper chamber and provides the seal
between the sandwich and the upper chamber.
Two ridges help position this gasket.
