Apparatus and method of making a gradient gel

A method for making a gel, comprising the steps of:

• a. holding a plurality of solutions in a plurality of reservoirs;
• b. forming a fluid of at least one solution from the plurality of solutions;
• c. transferring the fluid to a dispensing tip;
• d. delivering the fluid to a gel chamber with a longitudinal axis by moving the dispensing tip along the longitudinal axis;
• and
• e. curing the delivered fluid in the gel chamber to form the gel.

A method for making a gradient gel, comprising the steps of:

• a. holding a first solution at a first reservoir and a second solution at a second reservoir;
• b. connecting the first reservoir and the second reservoir with a channel;
• c. connecting an outlet with the second reservoir, wherein the outlet communicates with the channel so that a fluid of the first solution and the second solution is formed at the outlet;
• d. transferring the fluid to a dispensing tip;
• e. delivering the fluid to a gel chamber with a longitudinal axis by moving the dispensing tip along the longitudinal axis;
• and
• f. curing the delivered fluid in the gel chamber to form the gradient gel.

A method for making a plurality of gels, comprising the steps of:

• a. holding a plurality of solutions in a plurality of reservoirs;
• b. forming a plurality of fluids, each fluid having at least one solution from the plurality of solutions;
• c. transferring the plurality of the fluids to a plurality of dispensing tips, each dispensing tip having one fluid therein;
• d. delivering the plurality of the fluids to a plurality of gel chambers positioned in parallel thereby defining a longitudinal axis by moving the dispensing tips along the longitudinal axis, so that each of the plurality of the dispensing tips delivers one fluid therein in motion into one of the gel chambers;
• and
• e. curing the delivered fluids in the plurality of the gel chambers to form the plurality of the gels.
