Abstract
A gel electrophoresis training aid is provided. The training aid includes a substantially transparent elastomeric body having at least one series of spaced-apart wells. The elastomeric body is adapted with a plurality of spaced-apart bands extending in the same direction from the wells. Each of the spaced-apart bands are positioned substantially parallel to one spaced-apart well. A training kit including the training aid is also provided.
Claims17
A gel electrophoresis training aid comprising:
- a substantially transparent elastomeric body including at least one series of spaced-apart wells extending as a single row, each of said wells partially extending through said elastomeric body and being adapted for loading with a liquid, said elastomeric body being adapted with a plurality of spaced-apart, colored bands to simulate separated biomolecules, wherein said bands extend in a substantially same columnar direction from said wells, and wherein each band is positioned to run substantially parallel in said columnar direction to only one well.
A gel electrophoresis training kit comprising:
- at least one training aid being a substantially transparent elastomeric body including at least one series of spaced-apart wells extending as a single row, each of said wells partially extending through said elastomeric body and being adapted for loading with a liquid and said elastomeric body being adapted with a plurality of spaced-apart, colored bands to simulate separated biomolecules, wherein said bands extend in a substantially same columnar direction from said wells, and wherein each band is positioned to run substantially columnar only one well;
- and
- at least one instruction pamphlet providing written directions for using said training aid.
