Maybe spot the DNA TLC-style on dry paper, sandwich that between two
microscope slides, seal the long edges with wax immerse... then put
the glass sandwich between two buffer tanks containing the electrodes.
You'd probably need to make gaskets for either end of the glass
sandwich though.

Any other ideas? I feel like you need glass plates because I think it
would restrict the DNA from diffusing into solution.
