Product details
SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer (5X) is an optimized, concentrated buffer containing bromophenol blue as the dye. Designed for conventional SDS-PAGE protein sample loading, it is supplied at 5X concentration for convenient use.
Storage and stability:Store in a sealed, frozen state at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. Shelf life: 1 year.
Instructions for use
- Dissolve the SDS-PAGE loading buffer (5X) at room temperature or in a water bath below 37°C. After dissolving, store it at room temperature immediately, avoiding prolonged water bath exposure.
- Mix the protein sample with the loading buffer in a 1:4 ratio (1 μL of loading buffer per 4 μL of protein sample).
- Heat the mixture at 100°C or in a boiling water bath for 3-5 minutes to fully denature the protein.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then load it directly into the SDS-PAGE gel loading well.
- Electrophoresis is typically complete when the blue dye reaches the bottom of the gel.
