I've just used this electrophoresis chamber a few times and it works. It will lock in your gel tightly, but it is not as straightforward as other chambers I've used in the past.

Summary

The Good

The locking mechanism is tight.

The Bad

Gets warmer than I'm used to.

The Bottom Line

The product works as it should. Be sure to use the correct gels so that it fits correctly. These gels have an arch at the top that isn't on many other gels.
