title: An inexpensive sample mold for pulsed-field electrophoresis.
abstract: Specimens for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) are formed using a plug mold. We report a technique which uses a disposable polyethylene pipette to prepare our specimen plug. We also report a convenient technique to handle portions of the plug used for the typical PFGE manipulations.
