Abstract: An electrophoresis gel has a colored or pigmented loading area at one edge having a plurality of sample wells for receiving samples, the loading area extending beyond the ends of the wells so that the wells can be visually differentiated from the surrounding colored material in the loading area. The remainder of the gel is transparent or substantially transparent.
Abstract: A protein marker pellet for use in a gel electrophoresis system includes one or more protein markers including a protein of known molecular weight with ionic components to provide electrical conductance, and a non-protein, gel-forming material having a porosity sufficient to allow the one or more protein markers to migrate out of the protein marker pellet under the influence of an electrical field at the same rate as the ionic components.

Abstract: A method of creating an electrophoresis gel having a gel electrophoresis identifier includes providing a surface including a gel electrophoresis identifier marker; providing an electrophoresis gel on the surface having the gel electrophoresis identifier marker; and forming a gel electrophoresis identifier on the electrophoresis gel with the gel electrophoresis identifier marker of the surface. The gel electrophoresis identifier is used to identify and orient the gel.
