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.
