This tech report compares in-gel and off-gel separation of proteins in terms of overall speed and simplicity of the workflow, resolution of the separation, and depth of proteome coverage provided. Results found that as well as higher peptide yields, in-gel separations were better suited to take full advantage of downstream analysis methods.

Mini-PROTEAN® TGX Stain-Free™ and Criterion™ TGX Stain-Free™ precast gels, when combined with Bio-Rad’s ChemiDoc™ MP or Gel Doc™ EZ imagers, provide researchers with the fastest protein separation and visualization available using the standard Laemmli system.

The ChemiDoc MP imaging system enables stain-free operation and lets you visualize proteins at every stage of your experiment. Its flexibility and sensitivity are complemented by a simple, intuitive operation that integrates seamlessly into your workflow.

Introducing Bio-Rad’s PROTEAN i12 IEF system. Each channel in the i12™ focusing tray is powered by its own power supply, enabling precise control over each IPG strip. This makes it possible to run different sample types, different gradients, and multiple protocols all at the same time.

This tech report demonstrates the advantages of independently controlled voltage and current parameters for each focusing tray in optimizing IEF conditions for a complex, insoluble membrane protein fraction.

Immun-Blot LF (low fluorescence) PVDF membranes are protein blotting membranes optimized for fluorescent and multiplex fluorescent applications. They offer high signal-to-background ratio, low autofluorescence, and superior protein retention to maximize blot detection sensitivity and enable downstream quantitation.

Harvard Medical School Postdoctoral student Sririam Kosuri explains how the Gel Doc EZ system has changed the way researchers image gels in the George Church lab at Harvard Medical School’s Wyss Institute.

Assistant Project Scientist Dr. Dorota Krawczyk, PhD, at the Geoff Rosenfeld Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego, describes how easy it is to use the Gel Doc EZ system.
