| 1. A gel charging apparatus for charging a gel serving as a medium in which a sample is electrophoresed into a plurality of
capillary columns mounted on a multi-capillary electrophoretic apparatus, wherein
end portions on sample injection sides of these capillary columns pass through a holding member of a holder and are two-dimensionally
arranged and fixed while keeping airtightness between the same and the holding member to form a capillary cassette, and
the gel charging apparatus comprises a chamber provided with an opening on an upper surface so that closure means inserting
end portions on the sample injection sides of said capillary columns inside for closing the opening with said holder is provided
in the opening, and is further provided with:
an exhaust port and a release port to the atmosphere;
a gel vessel storing a gel solution so that end portions of said capillary columns on opposite sides to the sample injection
sides are dipped therein;
exhaust means provided on the exhaust port of said chamber; and
a switching valve provided on said release port.
