Abstract: A device for vertically stacking multiple pre-cast gels for simultaneous electrophoresis is described. The device comprises a plate of non-electrically conductive material that separates adjacent gels within a vertical stack and facilitates contact between the ends of the gels and an electrolyte solution during electrophoretic separation procedures. Further, a method of using the device for simultaneous electrophoresis of multiple pre-cast gels is disclosed.

Abstract: A method provides to the attendant at a public safety answering point information relating to the location of a telephone which is the source of a call to an emergency number in one or more campuses served by one or more private business exchanges (PBXs). The PBX(s) produce information relating to the source and destination numbers of each call. The destination number is applied to a database to identify emergency calls, and the source number is applied to a second database to identify its location.
