  • Automated two-dimensional electrophoresis apparatus and instrument constituting the apparatus
    Patent number: 7964077
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a sample separation instrument used in a sample separation apparatus which includes: holding means for holding a first medium supporter which supports a first medium; and driving means for moving fixing means or the holding means in a direction parallel or perpendicular to a plane whose sides extend in the first direction and in the second directions.
