title: Parallel plate equipment for preparation of uniform gel sheets.
abstract: A method for the preparation of uniform gel-disks for enzyme and cell immobilisation, as well as for characterisation of gel mechanical stability, is described. The apparatus comprises a stainless steel base unit and glass parallel plates, designed to permit easy and fast production of multiple homogeneous gel sheets of variable thickness.
