Yes, scrape the gel off with a plastic wedge, soak the plates in 5% Decon (called Contrad in the US) overnight to remove any gel fragments that adhere to the plate. It is important that fresh Decon is used. If opaque deposits remain on the plate, the plate can be soaked for an hour in 1% HCl then rinsed in Milli-Q water. Leave to air dry or dry using lint-free wipes (Kimberly-Clark, code no. 33370). Note that etching of the plates may occur if they are left in Decon or HCl for longer than the recommended period.
