TECHNIQUE OF DRYING POLYACRYLAMIDE GELS WITH 1-4-DIOXANE

The technique of storing gels by means of dehydration with dioxane is very simple, financially undemanding and it affords dried gels in the form of white non-transparent platelets stable in air which can be well archivated and reevaluated at any time. Moreover, if we want to work again with the original gel, it suffices to rehydrate it by immersion into distilled water. The gel reactivated in this way is ready either for dyeing by some other technique or it may by used for immunobioting.
