OpenGelBox
The midi gel box is an open source lab equipment design. This design was created by Karlin Yeh and Wilfrido Castillo and a version of it is in the Cooper Union. This design is made from acrylic sheet. The main purpose was to run more samples at once; this design can easily running 30 samples at a time. Previously, our lab would need to run several mini gels in series in order to analyze all the samples produced. With a midi gel box, we can now quickly assess the results while minimizing the consumable materials involved in each electrophoretic run.

The acrylic pieces must be assembled and glued together with acrylic cement.
