Drying thick gels (> 1.5 mm), high concentration
gels, gradient gels on paper
1
Lay a sheet of filter paper on top of the filter paper
liner and then position the gel on this sheet, taking
care to avoid trapping air beneath the gel.
2
Cover the gel with the porous polyethylene cover
sheet, with the smooth side toward the gel.
3
Check that the edges of all the sheets fall within the
recess of the platen.
If necessary, trim the sheets to fit within the recess.
4
Cover the stack with the clear silicone rubber
sealing sheet.
