1. A system, comprising:
a tank portion comprising:
at least two chambers;
each chamber of the at least two chambers independently configured to receive either an electrophoresis cassette or an electrotransfer cassette; and
a first electrode and a second electrode,
wherein the first electrode and the second electrode each have an electrical interface that can be connected to a power supply,
wherein the first electrode comprises a first extension that extends into a first chamber of the at least two chambers and a second extension that extends into a second chamber of the at least two chambers,
wherein the second electrode comprises a first extension that extends into the first chamber of the at least two chambers and a second extension that extends into the second chamber of the at least two chambers such that each chamber of the at least two chambers has an anode and a cathode,
wherein the first extension of the first electrode is disposed across the first chamber and spaced apart from the first extension of the second electrode, and
wherein the second extension of the first electrode is disposed across the second chamber and spaced apart from the second extension of the second electrode.
