title: Drying acrylamide slab gels for fluorography without using gel drier and vacuum pump.
abstract: A method for drying acrylamide slab gels for fluorography without using a gel drier and a vacuum pump is described. The method involves the use of inexpensive acrylic frames, cellophane, and plastic supplies. The fluorographs obtained from gels dried by this method are comparable to those obtained using a gel drier and a vacuum pump. Several gels can be dried by this method simultaneously at room temperature. The method is less time consuming and is economical and practically crack free.
