Abstract
A destainer for electrophoresis slab gels. The slab gels are placed in flexible mesh, and rolled into cylindrical shapes and inserted into slab holding tubes. The slab holding tubes are placed in the flow path of a washing liquid which flows past the slab gels and then through a return flow path containing a filter for removing stain particles washed away from the slab gels. A magnetic stirring pump draws fluid through the filter forcing it through the slab holding tubes and into the return flow path thereby forming a continuous flow path for destaining slab gels contained entirely within a cylindrical outside container.
