1. An electrophoresis gel cassette comprising:
- a label having detectable indicia and a precast electrophoresis gel disposed within the electrophoresis gel cassette, wherein;
i) the label is bonded to an interior surface of the electrophoresis gel cassette and the electrophoresis gel permeates the label, thereby securing the label to the electrophoresis gel;
ii) the indicia are detectable with the label so bonded, andiii) the label has a smaller surface area than the electrophoresis 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.
