5. Prepare a set of gel labels on filter paper, as described on page 53.
Cut the labels apart, leaving little excess around the characters, and place them in
order in front of the gel caster. Then, taking care to keep track of which cassette will
be numbered next, drop the numbers, in order, into the cassettes, on the side
opposite the gradient inlet port. As the gradient is introduced, the numbers fall to
the floor of the caster but remain in the respective cassettes and ultimately are
polymerized into the gels.
6. Insert the end of the plastic feed tube, supplied with the gel caster, into the grommet
in the floor of the side hydrostatic balance chamber of the caster (Figure 7).
Figure 7.
Attaching the
feed tube to the gel caster
The feed tube must be snugly in place so that there is no leakage from the balance
chamber into the caster at this point. The feed tube should be connected directly to
the gradient maker tubing or to a funnel with flexible vinyl tubing.
