  • Electrophoresis controllers, sensors, and methods for controlling electrophoresis processes
    Patent number: 9885686
    Abstract: An electrophoresis controller for use with an electrophoresis apparatus having a gel matrix disposed between electrodes for separation of particles along with a tracking dye. The electrophoresis controller includes a sensor system and a controller. The sensor system includes a support, a light emitter, and a light receiver. The support includes a first portion positionable on a first side of the gel matrix and a second portion positionable adjacent a second side of the gel matrix. The light emitter is positioned on the first portion of the support for emitting light onto one side of the gel matrix. The light receiver is positioned on the second portion of the support adjacent to the other side of the gel matrix for receiving light from the light source as it is passing through the gel matrix. At least one of the light emitter and the light receiver includes a light guide having a first end and a second end.
