よくあるご質問(FAQ)
Why can I not see the 3.5 kDa band of the Invitrogen Sharp Pre-Stained Standard on my NuPAGE gels?
The 3.5 kDa band is visible only on NuPAGE gels with 1X MES SDS running buffer.
What are the different molecular weight estimations for the Invitrogen Sharp Pre-Stained standard on the different Invitrogen gel types?
Invitrogen Sharp Pre-Stained Standard molecular weight estimations are the same in NuPAGE Bis-Tris, NuPAGE Tris-Acetate, Invitrogen Tris-Glycine, and Tricine Gels. The appearance/migration of the protein bands may differ depending upon the gel type and running conditions
I used one of your pre-stained protein standards for a western transfer and I noticed that the intensity of the band faded from the membrane during the transfer process. Why is this?
The fading is most likely due to detergent in the western blocking/washing solutions that can remove some of the proteins from the membrane. The dye itself will not wash off of the proteins because it is covalently bound. We have found that smaller pore size membranes retain the proteins better during blocking and wash procedures, and hence recommend use of 0.2 µm instead of 0.45 µm membranes for best resolution and protein retention. After transfer, it is a good idea to circle the pre-stained bands with a pencil on the membrane, so band positions can be identified after blocking and processing.
I used one of your protein standards for a western transfer and noticed that some of the lower-molecular weight protein bands passed through the membrane. How can I resolve this issue?
- Decrease voltage, current or length of transfer time
- Make sure that the methanol concentration in the transfer buffer is proper; use a methanol concentration of 10-20% methanol removes the SDS from SDS-protein complexes and improves the binding of protein to the membrane.
- Make sure that the SDS concentration (if added) in the transfer buffer is proper, don't use more than 0.02-0.04% SDS. Using too much SDS can prevent binding of proteins to the membrane.
- Check the pore size of the membrane and the size of the target protein. Proteins smaller than 10 kDa will easily pass through a 0.45 µm pore size membrane. If proteins smaller than 10 kDa are of interest, it would be better to use a 0.2 µm pore size membrane.
