Abstract
According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a support (1, 10) for an electrophoretic gel film comprising a first film (2) having a plurality of lips formed by stamping, the lips forming a plurality of retention points for an electrophoretic gel film to be received on the support. The invention also relates to an electrophoretic element for use in electrophoretic separations, comprising the support according to the first aspect, coated with an electrophoretic gel film, as well as to the use of such an electrophoretic element.
Claims12
Support (1, 10) for an electrophoretic gel film comprising a first film (2) having a plurality of lips formed by stamping, the lips forming a plurality of retention points for an electrophoretic gel film to be received on the support.
Support according to any preceding claims, wherein the aperture (8) of a lip with respect to the plane formed by the support is comprised between 35° and 40°.
Support for an electrophoretic gel film, comprising a first film, a second film having at least one window defining a migration zone bonded onto the first film, and an adherent coating layer applied to the second film, so that in use when the gel is deposited onto the support, the gel remains covalently attached to the support by means of the chemical agents of the adherent layer on the second film but is not attached to the support in the migration zone.
Support according to any preceding claims, wherein the films are flexible plastic films.
Support according to any preceding claims, wherein the first film (2) is transparent to ambient light or opaque to UV-blue light.
Use of the electrophoretic element according to the preceding claim for effecting migration of a biomolecule by electrophoresis.
