Description
Owl™ gel drying frame, Minigel, is a laboratory consumable for controlled drying of electrophoresis gels. This small-format frame has a length of 14 cm and corresponds to the 14 × 14 cm size used with matching pre-cut cellophane in gel-drying setups. It is designed to be combined with Thermo Scientific Owl™ Gel-Drying Kits so that stained or imaged minigels can be held flat between cellophane layers during air drying. Even tension from the frame helps produce smooth, archive-ready gels suitable for documentation, densitometry or long-term storage. The Minigel drying frame sits within the Owl™ gel-drying supply range that also offers larger 24 × 24 cm frames for bigger gels, allowing laboratories to standardise on one workflow across gel formats. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer Thermo Scientific, it supports routine molecular biology, biochemistry and teaching applications where polyacrylamide or agarose minigels are dried after electrophoresis. Compact geometry matched to common minigel dimensions makes this frame a practical spare or replacement part for existing Owl™ drying stations.

A gel, a comb and a casting tray make the slab a sample runs through. Agarose percentage, or the acrylamide mix, sets the sieve. The comb thickness and the number of teeth set the wells. Precast and hand-cast gels are different products. A comb for a different tray does not seal.
Electrophoresis pulls charged molecules through a gel. Smaller ones move farther. Agarose gels separate nucleic acids. Polyacrylamide gels separate proteins. A comb forms the wells. A power supply holds the voltage or the current. The gel percentage is the sieve. A marker lane is how the bands are named. The methods are in the PubMed literature. Sequences of the nucleic acids are on NCBI Nucleotide.
