The Mini-PROTEAN 3 system includes a casting stand and glass plates withpermanently bonded gel spacers that s
5、implify hand casting and eliminate leaking duringcasting. The cell can run one or two gels, and the mini tank is compatible with other Bio-Radelectrode modules for tank blotting, 2-D electrophoresis, and electro-elution.Fig. 1.

6、ance from your Mini-PROTEAN 3 cell, familiarize yourself withthe components by assembling and disassembling the cell before using it (refer toFigures 1 and 2).Spacer Plate The Spacer Plate is the taller glass plate with gel spacerspermanently bonded. Spacer Plates are available in 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm,1.
7、0 mm, and 1.5 mm thicknesses, which are marked directly oneach Spacer Plate.Short Plate The Short Plate is the shorter, flat glass plate that combines with theSpacer Plate to form the gel cassette sandwich.Casting Frame The Casting Frame, when placed on the benchtop, evenly alignsand secures the Spa

It contains pressure
9、levers that seal the Gel CassetteAssembly against the casting gaskets.Gel Cassette Sandwich A Spacer Plate and Short Plate with polymerized gel form a GelCassette Sandwich after casting.Combs A selection of molded combs is available.Buffer Dam The molded, one-piece buffer dam is used when running only onegel.Electrode Assembly The Electrode Assembly holds the Gel Cassette Sandwich. It housesthe sealing gasket, the upper and lower electrodes and theconnecting banana plugs. The anode (lower electrode) banana plugis identified with a red marker and the cathode (upper e
