Visualization
When the tracking dye has migrated as far through the gel as desired, or to the end of the gel, turn off
the power supply and slide off the lid to disconnect from the power source. Carefully remove the tray
containing the gel (wear gloves). The UV-transmissible gel tray makes for simple visualization and pho-
tography with a UV light source without the need to remove the gel from the tray. The gel tray may be
placed back into the casting chamber for convenient transport to the darkroom and to avoid damage to
the gel.

Cleaning

The buffer chamber and tray should be rinsed under warm running water after each use. Use a mild
detergent to get rid of any debris. A following short rinse off with distilled water prevents the formation
of salt marks. It is recommended to allow the chamber to air dry rather than drying with a towel to
avoid damage to the electrode wires.
Do not use ethanol or other organic solvents to clean acrylic products, because organic solvents cause
acrylic to 'craze' or crack!
