Electrophoresis cassette with collapsible buffer chamber
First Claim
1. In a slab gel cassette for vertical slab gel electrophoresis comprising first and second plates and spacing means therebetween to define a slab-shaped space, said first plate further comprising a protruding portion along one edge of said first plate, defined as an upper edge, to form a liquid reservoir above said slab-shaped space, said reservoir being of expanded depth relative to said slab-shaped space for use as an upper buffer chamber, the improvement in which said liquid reservoir is collapsible to reduce the depth of said reservoir when not in use.
