We made our own electrophoresis box with a laser cutter. All sides are 3mm perspex

Measurements for the outer box:

   Outer length: 167mm
   Inner length: 161mm
   Outer width: 107mm
   Inner width: 101mm
   Height including legs: 70mm
   Outer height of box: 41mm
   Inner height of box: 37mm
   Inner height to top holes (for electrodes): 20mm

Measurements for the inner box:

   Length: 99mm
   Outer width: 100mm
   Inner width: 94mm
   Outer height: 23mm
   Inner height: 20mm

Ideas for improvements

Open Source Electrophoresis tanks - They sell kits, but we can probably just use their published plans to laser-cut our own.

-Measurements for the outer box, in mm:
+Measurements for the outer box:
-     Width: 102.45 to 102.9 (not a perfect glue job)
+     Outer length: 167mm
-     Height to top (container): 31.8
+    Inner length: 161mm
-     Height to top holes (for electrodes): 22.16
+    Outer width: 107mm
-     Depth: about 171

-     Thickness (of the perspex): about 3.2

-So that is two panels measuring 100 x 20 (for the sides), and one panel measuring 100 x 100 (for the bottom).
