Re: [DIYbio] Manufacturing Gel Boxes and Power Supplies

Ive been using the IOrodeo setup for a long time, and it works like a charm. The power supply is based on the (famous) Nixie HV switching power supply, often found in DIY projects: http://www.desmith.net/NMdS/Electronics/NixiePSU.html

Instead of a power supply, connecting a bunch of 9V batteries in series works well too, especially when doing DNA work in the field

Ive used an IO rodeo mini gel box for the past 2 years, it's been great for the price.  Welding it yourself sucks, get epoxy burns everywhere on the plastic and it looks bad, but it works.  Taping trays sucks though, I'd rather have a squeegie setup that allows for instant pours n turn n run.  The top wings on the tray that hold the combs broke to (our own welding job).  Uniform pieces you didn't have to weld together with a solvent would be sweet, but probably much more expensive.  Never used their power supply.

A nice feature, but moreso the lack of hard corners will ease cleaning
and reduce contamination (though this is already minimal for something
like a gel box). Maybe they'd even help with the electrolyte flow in
the fluid?
