A device for preparative elution electrophoresis using a polyacrylamide gel slab
A compact device, capable of being clipped onto the end of a 3 mm thick analytical polyacrylamide slab gel, has been developed for the collection of resolved protein zones as they elute from the end of the gel. Its unique feature is that eluted proteins were collected between two polyacrylamide-embedded paper membranes and removed either by continuous or intermittent buffer elution. Because of this direct coupling to large gels identical to those used for analytical electrophoresis, protein zones were obtained with high resolution. The method was applicable to non-denaturing cathodic and anodic electrophoresis, as well as sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis. Medium-scale quantities (up to 10 mg/cm2 cross-sectional area) ofprotein were fractionated in as little as 4 h with high recoveries.

The recovery of proteins in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) has not been previously investigated systematically. The fractionation of hemoglobins A and 8 (1) by which milligram-preparative PAGE (2) was initially introduced yielded nearly quantitative recovery of hemoglobin, a finding which
## Abstract We describe a miniaturized instrument capable of performing 2βDE. Our miniaturized device is able to perform IEF and polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis (PASGE) in the same unit. It consists of a compartment for a firstβdimensional IEF gel, which is connected to a secondβdimensional
## A method that is both simple and inexpensive is described for preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of low-molecular-weight RNA. The utility of the method is demonstrated by the preparative separation of 4S and 5s RX-i.
