Re: [DIYbio] 6 minute electrophoresis without buffer

Seems like it's just a marketing tactic, the second instruction says:
"Remove combs, add 300ml deionized water, add little running buffer at
both ends, or without running buffer when runing bufferless genotyping
gel."

That most likely means the gel is buffered too. I think more
appropriate marketing would be 'liquid-free', if anything.

Here's a patent that's about to expire on this type of system
(probably the same as the Invitrogen eGel)

I'm trying to figure out what kind of buffer they're using, that's the
key to this '6 minute run'... but it's probably Sodium Borate or
Lithium Borate (i.e. Faster Better Media LLC) here's 'their' patent:

And the work Faster Better Media LLC based their products on:
