Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polyacrylamide gel capable of providing high resolution in protein separation and having higher stability to hydrolysis as compared with a conventional polyacrylamide gel depending on Tris or Tris-Bis as a buffer agent.SOLUTION: A polyacrylamide gel is produced by including triethanolamine instead of almost or all of Tris or Tris-Bis.
Abstract:
Polyacrylamide gels that offer high resolution in protein separations and are more stable relative to hydrolysis than conventional polyacrylamide gels that rely on Tris or Tris-Bis as buffering agents are made by incorporating triethanolamine in place of most or all of the Tris or Tris-Bis.
Abstract:
Electroblotting for the transfer of electrophoretically separated species from a gel to a transfer membrane is performed in a semi-dry format with sheets of absorbent polyester, polyester/cellulose blend, or polyurethane-coated cellulose wetted with buffer solution in place of the traditional buffer-wetted filter paper. The result is effective electroblotting at a lower electric current level than that obtained with filter paper and thereby less resistance heating of the gel, the transfer membrane, and the species being transferred.
