Are there robotic scripts for running E-Gel 48/96 or E-PAGE 48/96 gels?
Robotic scripts for running E-Gel 96 Agarose Gels and E-PAGE 96 Gels on Beckman Coulter's Biomek FX workstation can be found on our website at: www.thermofisher.com/egels (click the Labware Definitions link in the left navigation pane).

What is the difference between the EG and EP program for the E-Base system?
The EG program is to run E-Gel 96 and 48 gels, while the EP is to run the E-PAGE 96 and 48 gels.

What sample loading buffer should be used for E-PAGE gels?
For SDS-PAGE and staining or blotting, we recommend using the 4X E-PAGE Loading Buffer 1 for preparing samples. We do not recommend using any other SDS-PAGE sample buffer. The E-PAGE Loading Buffer 1 is optimized for E-PAGE gels. If the sample is already in NuPAGE LDS sample buffer or the Tris-Glycine SDS sample buffer, it is fine to run on the E-PAGE gels. However, there may be a loss of resolution in the bands.

Where can I download the latest version of the E-Gel 96 analysis software?
The E-Editor 2.0 Software can be downloaded for free from the Thermo Fisher Scientific website (search for 'e-editor 2.0').

Are the E-PAGE Gels (example Cat. No. EP09606) compatible with the iBlot3 device (Cat. O. IB31001)?
Due to the thickness of the E-PAGE gels, they are not compatible with the iBlot3 device for transfer. Recommended methods for transfer of E-PAGE gels are semi-dry blotting or semi-wet blotting in the XCell II Blot Module. Methods are described in the E-PAGE Technical Guide.
