Lab Gel Boat and Comb
Description
For those Biohackers and frugal lab-workers out there, here's a model of a Gel Boat and a comb for moulding wells and performing Gel Electrophoresis! Given the huge price associated with commercially available gel boats, I hope this will find a few good homes where it'll be put to good use. For those unfamiliar with Lab Gels, this rig is used to create jelly-like blocks of agar/agarose gel with special wells moulded in; into these wells, one injects DNA or Protein. When an electric current is applied through the Gel Longitudinally, the DNA (or charged protein) is dragged through the well in order of size, smallest fragment first. This allows separation of DNA based on size, which is a pretty essential lab technique for Biohackers.
