36. A method for performing a horizontal electrophoresis process on a sample, which comprises the steps of:
providing a solidified hybrid gel for the horizontal electrophoresis process of the sample within an acrylamide gel, said hybrid gel including a substantially solidified first gel portion in communication with a substantially solidified second gel portion, said solidified first gel portion having at least sufficient agarose for enabling accommodation therein of the sample for electrophoresis process after said first gel portion is solidified, and said second gel portion being made substantially from acrylamide to enable the electrophoresis process to be applied within said second gel portion to the sample accommodated in said first gel portion, said first gel portion having a well formed therein, said well being adapted to receive a corresponding sample;
accommodating said gel matrix in a suitable horizontal electrophoresis chamber;
accommodating said at least one sample within a corresponding at least one well in said first gel portion;
providing suitable buffer solution to said chamber;
providing a suitable electric potential to said chamber such as to activate the electrophoresis process.
