Protein Gel 1D Electrophoresis Support
Explore the “Getting Started” and “Troubleshooting” sections for solutions to top inquiries and common problems. Browse through the “Guides and Tools” section to access comprehensive product-related support resources.
Getting Started
- Can I prepare my protein sample with the reducing agent and store it for future use?
- Can reducing agents other than DTT or BME be used to reduce proteins prior to electrophoresis? For example, what about TCEP (Tris Carboxy Ethyl Phosphene)?
- How are Bolt Bis-Tris Plus gels different from NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels?
- What is the composition of the NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer and what is the recipe for the 4X formulation?
- What are the main advantages of NuPAGE gels over Novex Tris-Glycine gels?
Troubleshooting
- My protein bands in the outer lanes of the gel show a “smiling” effect. Can you please help me troubleshoot?
- I am getting wavy dye fronts while using the Bolt Bis-Tris Plus gels with the Bolt tank. Why is this?
- When I tried to remove the comb from my Bolt Bis-Tris Plus gel, I noticed the presence of extra acrylamide. What is the purpose?
- I ran my protein samples on a NuPAGE Bis-Tris gel, and I see a bubble in the center of the gel with significant band distortion particularly in the center lanes. What is the reason?
- I ran my protein samples on a Tris-Glycine gel and the samples stopped running in the bottom portion of the gel whereas the marker ran fine. Why did this happen?
