1. A method for forming an electrophoresis gel marked with detectable indicia, said method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) forming said indicia in ink on a dry film of a water-permeable polymer that is capable of receiving said ink;

    (b) placing an aqueous gel-forming liquid in a gel mold having an internal surface with said indicia-bearing film layered over said surface but not bonded thereto, and allowing said gel-forming liquid to permeate said film; and

    (c) converting said gel-forming liquid, thus placed in said mold, into a gel that incorporates both said water-permeable polymer and said indicia and is not bonded to said solid surface, with neither said water-permeable polymer nor said indicia imposing dimensional restriction to said gel.
