A precast slab gel for use in submerged ("submarine") horizontal electrophoresis is formed in a tray that includes a flat base and two raised walls on opposing sides of the base, the walls containing one or more tabs on their outer surfaces, the tabs mating with grooves in the interior walls of the tank. The mating of the tabs with the grooves prevents movement and floating of the tray within to the electrophoresis cell during use. The tabs are designed to mate with grooves that are present in the tank for other purposes, which adds to the versatility of the design. Further versatility is achieved by joining the tabs to the tray walls by thin webs, which make the tabs readily removable, thereby rendering the tray usable in cell tanks that do not contain grooves. Further aspects of the invention include pins or posts extending upward from the tray base to anchor the gel, and the printing of indicia on the tray base by hot foil stamping, with the discovery that indicia printed in this manner are capable of producing a fluorescent image as part of the image produced by fluorescent-dyed protein spots in the electropherogram.

Isoelectric focusing systems are used to analyze ampholytic analytes in a sample. These systems use an electrophoretically generated pH gradient to separate components according to their isoelectric points. This invention overcomes two shortcomings associated with these systems. First, the invention enables the detection of ampholytic analytes whose original concentration in a sample is so low that their concentration after focusing is below their respective detection limit. Auxiliary agents are added to the sample and auxiliary compartments are connected to the separation compartment to increase the final concentration of the focused ampholytic analytes in the separation compartment above their respective detection limit. The second limitation the invention overcomes is the detrimental effects of salt in a sample. Salt alters the pH gradient developed in the separation compartment during focusing compared to the pH gradient obtained for a salt-free sample, thus skewing the electropherogram obtained in the isoelectric focusing separation. This invention eliminates the problems caused by salt-induced shift of the pH gradient by accumulating, during isoelectric focusing, components of salt in the sample and the added auxiliary agents in an auxiliary compartment connected to the separation compartment. By adjusting the amount of auxiliary agent so that at the end of the focusing step no salt or auxiliary agent is located in the separation compartment, one can maintain the correct shape of the pH gradient in the separation compartment, increase the concentration of the focused ampholytic analyte above its respective detection limit and avoid the unwanted effects of salt in the sample.

A sample, which is a mixture of glycans, is fluorescently labeled (S2). The sample is subsequently separated by microchip electrophoresis under a buffer solution with no lectin added as well as under multiple kinds of buffer solutions with different lectins respectively added, and the separated components are fluorescently detected (S3). A high-concentration gel which can produce a molecular-sieving effect is used as the buffer solution. Multiple electropherograms are created from the detection results (S4). A glycan having a lectin specifically attached is delayed during its migration in the buffer solution, so that a peak corresponding to this glycan will effectively disappear. Accordingly, based on the kinds of lectins and the presence/absence of a peak on each of the electropherograms, the structure of each glycan in the sample is estimated and the glycan is identified (S5).
