Of course you can combine filters such as glass filters with gel filters for higher OD or dielectric filter for sharp cutoff with gel filters to reduce leakage of stray light at off angles. Often a higher OD is worth it even if it reduces your transmission in your pass band

*Lighting gel filters, especially Lee branded ones. Spectra are publicly available, OD can be high and cutoff sharp and select ones have high transmission in the pass band, that and being very thin allows them to be stacked using OCA sheets for very high OD and sharp cutoff. Very affordable

* Absorptive glass filters from aliexpress, often more of less copies of the schott lineup, decently sharp cutoff, mostly only usable as longpass, high OD possible depending on thickness, easy to cut and grind to size from larger 100x100mm sheets if needed

You need to have a pretty big autoclave for that think to even fit in upright

It could result in differences of the angle of the scattered light due to the difference in particle size, think like FC front scatter. If there are differences in the device that could have a large impact

Might work well when you want to show someone paper chromatography

This reminded me of something, maybe not comedy,

100V is kinda slow. Sure the slow gels are the best ones I've done for larger fragments. But sometimes you want to resolve small primer dimers or just don't want to wait almost and hour and then I'm glad I can run my gels at 300V for 15-20mins in 1x LAB and even those gels are publication quality.
