Abstract: An indoor plant-growing system is an apparatus that includes a housing, at least one trellis, a reflective foil, at least one panel light, and a plurality of strip lights. The housing contains the at least one trellis, the at least one panel light, and the plurality of strip lights. The housing maintains an environment to grow a variety of plants, preferably, vine-type plants. The housing includes a growing chamber and a nutrient reservoir. The growing chamber houses variety of plants, and the nutrient reservoir supplies the growing chamber with a water supply and nutrients. The nutrient reservoir maintained preferably with fish in addition to at least one environmental sensor and at lease one aerator. The at least one panel light and the plurality of strip lights provide thorough lighting needed by the variety of plants. The reflective foil reflects the light to ensure lighting within a fully grown vine plant.

Abstract: A method and system for reusing reaction vessels in a biotechnical processing apparatus. The system has a frame, an array of reaction vessels, an automatic actuator, and a decontamination system. The frame has at least one processing station. The array of reaction vessels is mounted to the frame for effecting biotechnical processing at the precessing station. The automatic actuator is connected to the frame and the reaction vessels for dispersion of solution in and out of the reaction vessels. The decontamination system is constructed in the frame for being accessed by the actuator to decontaminate the reaction vessels. The decontamination system includes a wash section, a heating section, a supply of wash fluid, a supply of acid solution and a supply of base solution. The actuator is programmed to access the decontamination section to subject the access the decontamination section, a bas solution and a wash reagent for decontamination the reaction vessels.

Abstract: The invention provides an electrophoresis cassette to cast electrophoresis gels and to separate and analyze molecular components by electrophoresis. The electrophoresis cassette comprises a top plate assembly, a spacer and a bottom plate. The top plate assembly is seated to the bottom plate with the spacer there between to define a thickness of the electrophoresis cassette and to seal an outer perimeter of the assembly. The top plate assembly includes a cathode reservoir connected to a first terminal end of a central plate, and an anode reservoir connected to a second terminal end of the central plate. When the electrophoresis cassette is assembled, the cathode and anode reservoirs are in alignment with the first and second terminal ends of the central plate to facilitate formation of leak-proof seals between the reservoirs and the assembly components.
