Fig 4. Stack components
(Load from bottom up; Fillers are
added after sandwiches are in
place to adjust stack height)
• Polycarbonate sheet. (Acts as
lever for adding fillers below
the stack. Aids in inserting filler
blocks and disassembling the
stack.)
• Sheet of wax paper (not visible
on drawing). Repeat as needed
to fill the caster.
• Gel sandwich
• Face plate

Build the stack in the caster.
(All components fit flush against the bottom and one
side.) Place a polycarbonate sheet in the caster so that
2/3 of the sheet lays within the caster and the rest
extends out of the top. (This will act as a lever when
inserting filler sheets once all sandwiches are in place.)
Place a sheet of wax paper onto the polycarbonate
sheet. (The wax paper makes it easier to disassemble
the stack.) Slide the first sandwich into the caster
along one side, notched plate side down and notched
side pointing toward the open end of the caster (top
when filled). Repeat with all sandwiches, building
the stack by layering sheets of wax paper and gel
sandwiches, all oriented the same way. Over the final
sandwich, lay a sheet of polycarbonate instead of wax
paper so that you can observe the liquid level when
pouring the gel solution, (Fig 4).
Notes:
•
Inspect glass for nicks. Use only unchipped plates.
• Work on a flat surface for best results.
• Clean off the acrylamide film from both sides of
each polycarbonate sheet.
