  • Patent number: 5350552
    Abstract: A batch method for preparing polyacrylamide aqueous gels for electrophoresis, including providing a plurality of gel plate supporters abreast in an airtight gel-forming container, eliminating oxygen from or introducing oxygen-free gas into said container, charging a gel-forming solution into said container, and gelatinizing the solution. It can easily produce a large quantity of high quality polyacrylamide gel plates for electrophoresis with a homogeneous quality and a high resolving power in an automated batch method in a short period of time.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5306404
    Abstract: A process for preparing a polyacrylamide gel plate for electrophoresis with any desired concentrations, which comprises mixing a high concentration acrylamide monomer solution, a low concentration peroxide solution, and a low concentration reducing solution at an arbitrary ratio, and introducing the mixture into a gel supporter. The process enables preparation of a large quantity of high quality polyacrylamide gel plates for electrophoresis which is useful for analysis of high molecular weight in vivo components typified by proteins with a good reproducibility. It also contributes to the production of various gels having a plurality of gel concentrations or having a specified concentration gradient, and serves for improving the productivity of multi-products manufacturing of such gel plates.
