1. A method of detectably labeling a polymer gel, comprising:
- bonding to said gel, during said gel'"'"'s polymerization, a polymeric film having indicia that are detectable after said film is so bonded to said gel, wherein said polymeric film has a smaller surface area than said gel.

Abstract
The invention provides methods, apparatus and kits for integrally labeling polymeric gels, such as polyacrylamide and agarose gels, with indicia that can serve, inter alia, unambiguously to identify the individual gel, using polymeric film labeled with detectable indicia and coated with materials that bond to the gel matrix as the gel polymerizes.
