Separation System. The 2+ years of production experience with the thin gel system at CuraGen, combined with MIT's experience in the logistics of executing thousands of electrophoresis runs/day, suggested to us separating the electrophoresis plates and media from an electrophoresis station residing in an optical detection compartment. Such a decoupling can reduce the optical "downtime" between runs to minutes, thereby maximizing the throughput of the system. We propose to achieve this efficient operation through a modular design:
