摘要:
The present invention relates to an electrophoresis apparatus comprising a gel chamber for receiving electrophoresis medium, a removable gel system, which is arranged in the gel chamber, having a separation gel for the electrophoretic separation of biological molecules such as nucleic acids or proteins, electric contact elements for generating an electric field through the separation gel, optionally a lid for fastening on the gel chamber, characterized in that the separation gel is delimited at least at one side by a spacer element which is in the form of a collector and comprises a plurality of sample collection containers, which are arranged one next to the other, for fractionating and for collecting the electrophoretically separated molecules. The invention further relates to a method for the electrophoretic separation and collection of biological molecules by way of a two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.
