Patent
Automated electrophoresis and fluorescence detection apparatus and method
TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of the electrophoresis apparatus to detect fluorophore-labeled materials in short periods of time was improved by using improved detection methods and apparatus which may be used individually or in various combinations.
Patent
