Hoefer DALT System

Casting Gradient Gels

Amersham Biosciences

 

21

Light solution should begin to flow through the feed tube and mixer towards the 

caster. At this point, a small amount of light solution can enter the caster.

10. When the light solution level in the gradient maker falls to a level about 1 cm above 

the level of the heavy solution, open the heavy chamber exit tube clamp (b).

11.  Watch the gradient enter the caster.

12. When the caster is filled to within 4 cm from the top of the cassettes, or the gradient 

maker is empty, whichever comes first, turn off the pump and close the feed tube 

clamp (c). Stop the pump before air enters the feed tube. 

13. Pull the gradient feed tube out of the balance chamber grommet. Place its end in a 

waste container to collect excess polymerizing acrylamide. 

As soon as the feed tube is removed, the dense blue displacing solution flows down 

the connecting tube to the unit. It should completely fill the V-well and the sloped 

trough at the bottom of the caster. If the V-well is not completely filled and the level 

of gel in the casettes is more than 1 cm below the top of the cassettes, you may add 

up to 50 ml more displacing solution to the balance chamber. The gradient is now in 

hydrostatic equilibrium in the unit, ready to polymerize (Figure 13). Apply overlay 

as soon as possible (page 22).

hydrostatic equilibrium 
with the feed tube 
removed. Displacing 
solution fills the sloped 
trough at the bottom of the 
caster.

14. Quickly reopen clamp c and restart the pump to empty the gradient maker 

completely of any excess polymerizing acrylamide from the gradient maker. 

Collect the excess in a waste container. Dispose of unpolymerized acrylamide 

according to applicable safety guidelines. 

15. Rinse the gradient maker well to prevent polymerization within the tubing lines. 

Place the feed tube in a larger waste vessel or a sink drain. Pour about a liter of 

water into each chamber of the gradient maker and open all clamps. 

16. Start the pump to flush the system. Flush 2 liters more water through the gradient 

maker and tubing.
