The Preservation of Agar Gel Electropherograms

Abstract

The use of microscope slides as supports for the medIUm during electrophoresis on agar gels makes the preservation of the gel, by drying it on the slide, a simple matter. The following method has been found suitable for preserving larger preparations of agar on which electrophoretically separated proteins have been stained; in the work during which the method was developed the gels measured 90 x 50 x 2·5 mm. and contained 1 % agar.
