PAGE gels with riboflavin/UV question

[KIM]

The OpenGene sequencing system from Visible Genetics uses a UV-activated
crosslinking method.  Their gels are poured into a cassette, then popped
into a device called the "Gel Toaster". 

I would buy one just to have that name!

p.s.  Gels are toasted in about 30 seconds or something like that.
