GE &  BioRad mini & large format SDS-PAGE systems

1-D and 2-D polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for protein and peptide separations.

Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry Facility

Description

Proteomic work can involve the use of one-dimensional (SDS-PAGE) or two-dimensional (2-D PAGE or 2-DE) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

SDS-PAGE can also be used independently. Proteins and peptides are separated within the gel according to the % acrylamide and crosslinker, given as %T and %C.

Peptides can also be separated using a compatible buffer system. A typical buffer system is Tris/glycine/SDS, however other combinations may be more suitable to your sample. Native and denaturing gels can be prepared. Choice will depend on sample requirements.

Specifications

    • High mass protein separations (homogeneous): 7%T, 2.7%C
    • Los mass protein separations (homogeneous): up to 15%T, 2.7%C
    • Gradient gels: 4-20%T
    • First dimension electrophoresis with a pH gradient and high urea
    • Second dimension separation in SDS-PAGE

Applications

  • Protein separations
  • Post-translational modification studies
  • Sample preparation prior to mass spectrometry
