Overview
GenScript's Bis-Tris precast gel series are high performance polyacrylamide gels that are designed to separate a wide range of protein sizes by electrophoresis. The gels are cast in a neutral pH buffer that minimizes polyacrylamide hydrolysis and increases gel stability. They also run at neutral pH which minimizes protein modification compared to Tris-glycine gels.
Proteins are separated on SurePAGE using MOPS or MES running buffer. We recommend using MOPS buffer for protein sizes that are >30kD and MES for proteins that are <30 kD. We recommend using 4×LDS sample buffer (M00676) as the sample loading buffer.
