If the gel is run at too high a voltage it will overheat and distort the bands. The gel is then connected to a power supply and allowed to run for a few hours in a buffer tank to separate the proteins. Small volumes of protein (5-20 ml) dissolved in gel loading buffer are added to each individual well. The transfer efficiency can be monitored by staining the gel with Coomassie blue R-250 protein stain or with Bio-Rads Silver Stain Kit. Bio-Rad’s Clarity family of western ECL substrates provides simple, high-performance solutions for all your western chemiluminescence needs. Once the gel sets, it is placed into the running apparatus. Chemiluminescent western blot detection is a highly sensitive alternative to isotopic detection of proteins bound to blotting membranes. The percentage and the thickness of the gel will impact the transfer of proteins out of the gel in the blotting phase, so using a thinner gel, or a lower percentage of acrylamide, may improve transfer results Polyacrylamide Gel Percentage Separation Ranges See the table below for some common gel percentages and their separation ranges. Please select the specific protocol that best fits your needs. Here are a series of protocols, each explicit to a specific combination of reagents, detection modes, and laboratory equipment. Gels can be made with a uniform acrylamide percentage, or with a continuously varying gradient that yields improved resolution over a broader range of molecular weights. We know that western blotting protocols vary depending on your particular laboratory set-up and reagents of choice. SDS-PAGE gels (commercially supplied or made in-house) usually consist of a main gel, which is poured between two glass or plastic plates, and which is sometimes topped by a short stacking gel. This makes it possible to clearly identify the target protein later through immunodetection with a specific antibody. The key is to effect a separation such that the target protein will be properly resolved from the other components of the mixture. Since the charge to mass ratio is equalized by the binding of SDS consistently along the length of the proteins, and higher structure has been removed, the proteins will be separated primarily by size. Since the samples have been denatured in gel loading buffer containing SDS detergent, the protein is uniformly negatively charged and will now migrate in an electric field through the gel and towards the positive electrode. After the samples have been prepared, they are separated by size using SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis).
