Abstract
An improved electrophoresis system for simple, rapid and reproducible separations of biological materials such as proteins, nucleic acids, cells, bacteria, cell organelles, etc. is described. The system consists of several subsystems including a first dimensional system having a multi-column rotatable carousel with automatic density gradient maker and sample deposition, a unique fraction collector cassette which can serve as a sample applicator for the second dimension electrophoresis and a slab-gel second-dimensional electrophoresis system. The total system operation is integrated by microprocessor control. Flexibility in the system design and operation allows for running in an analytical or preparative mode at the discretion of the system operator.
