Novex™ Value™ Tris-Glycine Mini Protein Gel, 4 to 12%, 1.0 mm, 15-well

Q: What is the orientation of the printing on the cassette for the Novex WedgeWell gels?

We use what we call mirror printing', the same way we do for Bolt gels. This means that when the gel is loaded in the Mini Gel Tank, the text will face in the readable direction (left to right).

Do the Novex WedgeWell gels require any specific buffers?

The Novex WedgeWell gels can use standard Tris-Glycine sample and running buffers. For running under native conditions, we recommend using sample and running buffers that do not contain SDS (such as our Native Tris-Glycine premade buffers).

With Novex WedgeWell gels, what in the chemistry changed to allow for a longer shelf life?

We were able to optimize shelf life through a proprietary gel formulation change. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide specific details on the chemical changes.

I am transferring a Tris-Glycine gel using constant voltage and the current reading is way over the expected starting current. Can you offer some suggestions?

The most common cause of abnormally high current is the transfer buffer. If the transfer buffer is too concentrated, this leads to increased conductivity and current. High current may also occur if Tris-HCl is accidentally substituted for the Tris base required in the transfer buffer. This will again result in low buffer pH and lead to increased conductivity and current and subsequently, overheating. We recommend checking the transfer buffer and its reagent components and re-diluting or remaking the buffer.
