Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrolysis, and more specifically, to an electrophoresis tank. Background Art

[0002] Electrophoresis tank is a commonly used equipment in laboratories for electrophoresis analysis. Electrophoresis is an analytical technique based on the difference in the migration speed of molecules in an electric field. It is mainly used to separate and identify biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Electrophoresis tanks are usually made of plastic or glass materials and have electrodes inside to generate electric fields.

[0003] However, some existing electrophoresis tanks still have many shortcomings. First, some devices cannot accurately control the flow rate of the fluid in the tank, which will affect the uniform distribution and effective separation of samples during the electrophoresis process. Samples may aggregate or disperse unevenly due to uneven flow rate, resulting in inaccurate or poor repeatability of analysis results. Secondly, some devices cannot control the temperature during the electrophoresis process, which may affect the migration speed and separation effect of the samples. In specific electrophoresis applications, temperature stability is very important for maintaining the consistency of the gel and avoiding problems such as sample annealing. Finally, some devices The wastewater generated during the electrophoresis process may cause pollution to the environment if it is directly discharged without treatment. Without an effective wastewater treatment mechanism, pollutants may accumulate in the tank, which will affect the accuracy and safety of subsequent experiments. Utility Model Content
