Hoefer SE615 - Manual (Page 10)

Casting with divider plates
To double the number of gels run simultaneously
on the SE600 and related units, place a notched
glass divider plate and another pair of spacers
between the standard glass plates. The result is a
“club sandwich,” with two layers of gel formed
by the three glass plates.
To use divider plates, follow the directions in
“Pouring standard homogeneous gels” on
page 9 or “Pouring standard gradient gels”
on page 11. When calculating solution volumes,
use the formula on page 9. When stacking glass
sandwiches, use the following procedure.
1
Stack glass sandwiches in the caster, using one club
sandwich for each two gels you will cast. Fill extra
space with acrylic blocks, glass plates and polycar-
bonate sheets.
2
Slide in one polycarbonate sheet against the back.
3
Slide in a glass club sandwich. (See Fig 3.)
To construct a club sandwich, slide in one rectangular
glass plate and place spacers along each of the two
side edges. Slide in a notched divider glass plate and
place spacers along each of the side edges. Finally,
slide in a second rectangular glass plate.
