摘要：An improved cassette for use in the formation of an electrophoretic gelcomprises two plates with substantially planar walls having two sides and two ends soarranged in a side by side spaced apart array to form a gel receiving space between them.A plurality of dividing ribs on one or each of the walls extend from a first end of the wall

or walls substantially parallel to at least one of the sides thereof to a rib base end. Theribs extend into the space so as to subdivide at least one end of the space into a pluralityof substantially parallel wells. A plurality of holes extend through at least one of thewalls of the cassette located at or adjacent the base of the dividing rib and aligned withthe rib. The arrangement of holes allow sufficient current flow to replace that lost due tothe dividing ribs. The structure retains the advantage of having solid dividing walls whichare considerably more resilient than dividing walls made from fingers of gel even whenreinforced with pegs or projections. and yet by virtue of the provision of a hole at thebase of the ribs allows sufficient current flow at the base of each rib that the current flowthrough the space is substantially uniform, thus preventing spreading of the bands asthey form in the body of the gel.
