The original Hoefer system had a ten gel tank. and a twenty gel caster. Maybe
they would revive it for the new Proteomics interest. Cooling was excellent,
and would be on their four gel tank also.
If I recall, they were able to supply a double gel configuration. Three
plates and two spacers, which would increase throughput.
