›This application is related to U.S. Design patent…

This application is related to U.S. Design patent application Ser. No. 29/545,629 filed Nov. 13, 2015; and to U.S. Design patent application Ser. No. 29/545,637 filed Nov. 13, 2015 (now U.S. Design Pat. No. D792,603 issued Jul. 18, 2017), and U.S. Design patent application Ser. No. 29/596,358 filed Mar. 7, 2017, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein.

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an electrophoresis gel cassette showing our new design.

FIG. 2 is a back perspective view thereof.

FIG. 3 is a front view thereof.

FIG. 4 is a back view thereof.

FIG. 5 is a right side view thereof

FIG. 6 is a left side view thereof.

FIG. 7 is a top view thereof; and,

FIG. 8 is a bottom view thereof.

The broken lines in the figures show unclaimed portions of the electrophoresis gel cassette and form no part of the claimed design.

The short diagonal shade lines in the figures depict the contours and transparent qualities of the surface upon which they are applied and not surface ornamentation.

The elements on one side of the electrophoresis gel cassette may, therefore, be seen through the electrophoresis gel cassette from the opposite side of the electrophoresis gel cassette. Elements viewed directly on a surface of the electrophoresis gel cassette are shown in heavier lines than elements seen through the electrophoresis gel cassette.
