Setting up the caster
Preparing the caster
1
If the faceplate is attached to the caster, remove it.
Remove the four side clamps, loosen the two thumb
screws, and slide off the faceplate.
2
Remove the foam cord gasket. Apply a light coat of
Gel Seal lubricant and replace the gasket.
3
When casting gradient gels, attach the tubing from the
gradient maker to the inlet port at the bottom of the
faceplate. Homogeneous gels may also be cast through
this port. If casting homogeneous gels from the top,
insert the appropriate displacement block in the open,
V-shaped region at the bottom of the chamber.
4
Place the open caster in a horizontal position with its
back on the bench top.
