Re: [DIYbio] DIY Gel System

Hello DIYBIO,

For the past few months I have been working on a gel system, including a gel power supply and transilluminator.  I have finally settled on something that I think works and I would like to share it with you.

The core ideas behind the box are that it should save you time, have a small footprint and be cheap and easy to assemble.  The kit I am selling only costs $200, and should take about an hour to build using only a screwdriver.

The footprint is 5.5x5.5 inches, which is smaller than most power supplies on their own.  In this package there is a variable-voltage (60-90V) power supply, and an illuminator.

The gel casting trays I have are cheap- $20 each.  This means you can buy a few and pre-cast gels, in parallel which saves you time.  They are also reusable.  Compare this to the hundreds of dollars for a gel chamber new, or the $10 pre-cast e-gels.  GelIS sits in a happy medium allowing you to choose what kind of gels you want to have on hand, for a reasonable price.

You can see pictures and notes on the development here, assembly instructions here, and you can buy one here.

Let me know if there are any questions.  More details on use and design to come in the next week or so, so follow my blog if you are interested.
