Gel casting recipes
Choose the polyacrylamide percentage and type of well for your application based upon the expected molecular weight of your protein of interest and the volume of your sample.
Resolve large molecules with low percentage gels and small molecules with high percentage gels. If the molecular weight of the molecule is unknown, or the sample contains a wide range of molecules, use a mid-range percentage gel.
Recipes for SureCast reagents
Prepare resolving gel solution according to the volumes in the following table. The volumes provided in the table are for a single gel. Scale volumes proportionally based on the number of gels to be cast.
Note: Solutions do not require degassing.
