black end of the Gel Box. Once in the locked position and tighten the thumb screw snug. Ensure that
the Gel Box is fastened securely to the Base.

7. Orient and fully insert all 14 Gel Combs (2 Electrode Combs and 12 Well Combs) into the Gel Comb
Holder (figure 5), this assures the proper alignment of all the Gel Combs and agarose wells during
the gel formation process. If your application does not require 12 rows of wells, you may insert fewer
than 12 well combs, as desired. However, you must always insert the two Electrode Combs in their
respective positions at the ends of the Gel Comb Holder.
