Gel Identification Numbers
For positive identification of gels, label each slab by incorporating a small label printed
on thin filter paper in the bottom corner of the gel. Use a carbon typewriter ribbon,
photocopier or laser printer to make these labels, since many liquid-based inks are
electrophoresed off paper during an SDS electrophoresis run.
A variety of numbering schemes are possible. In our experience the easiest uses three
parts as follows:
•
An upper-case letter to identify the investigator or an extended gel series.
•
A two- or three-digit serial number to identify the slab gel batch.
•
A lower-case letter to identify a gel in the batch. Since a maximum of 22 gels can be
made in a batch, use the letters a-v.
The resulting numbers, in the format A63a, A63b...., etc., provide a useful system for
keeping track of and cross-indexing experiments and gel production.
