Abstract
A cassette for holding an electrophoretic gel. The cassette has two substantially planar wall members formed of a synthetic plastics material, each wall member having two sides and two ends. The wall members are formed integrally along each side with an array of interdigitating ribs and grooves which releasably hold the wall members in substantially parallel array spaced apart sufficiently to define between them an electrophoretic gel receiving space. The ribs and grooves also serve to form a substantially fluid tight seal down each side of the gel receiving space. A plurality of ribs extend between the upper edges of the two wall members to define a series of wells above the gel into which samples to be electrophoretically separated may be placed.
