Protein electrophoresis gel is usually prepared by the laboratory itself. The mainstream glass mold for preparing protein electrophoresis gel on the market has the same size (Bio-Rad, 1653311, 1653308). The common preparation frame (Bio-Rad, 1653304) and the pouring frame (Bio-Rad, 1653303) are used for pouring gel. However, the pouring frame and the pouring frame often have the phenomenon of gel leakage during the pouring work, which affects the test.
