Protein Gel Electrophoresis

Protein Gel Electrophoresis

(can also employ variations for detecting LPS, etc.)

Convenient printable template here from our printable "Templates" page for convenient logging of samples in 15-lane gels (click here).

Possibly useful example for approx [protein] by gel.

Typically use Abs280, but occasionally this is useful.

Rough estimation of protein quantification using BSA.

Time for a protein gel refresher or intro before you do this the first time? Luckily for biochem type exits: videos and tutorials abound (on Google, You Tube, JoVE)!

Companies that sell gels also have their own tutorial videos and written packets. Google: "Invitrogen protein gel instructions" or "different protein gels" or related phrases to find what you are interested in. Other vendors with files and pages on this are BioRad and Thermo Fisher.
If you have questions or would like to have help, ask a lab member!  No lab member to help on this? Ask Lynette. Lynette has run hundreds of protein gels (and enjoys it!). Same for Westerns.
