-
'''Wear gloves at all times!'''
 
-
Requirements:
 
-
*30% acrylamide(Biorad) '''NEUROTOXIN!'''
 
-
*4X separation gel buffer: 1.5M Tris.HCl, 0.4% SDS pH6.8
 
-
*4X stacking gel buffer: 0.5M Tris.HCl, 1.92M glycine, 1% SDS water saturated isobutanol
 
-
*TEMED( in yellow cabinet )
 
-
*10% APS (Ammonium persulfate) ; prepare 10 ml and keep cold in fridge
 
-
 
-
'''Hoeffer Mighty gel system'''
 
-
Casting of the gel:
 
-
*Per gel take one small glass plate with 'ears', one big white ceramic plate, two grey spacers with perpendicular plastic bits (0.75 mm), and one white comb (0.75 mm)
 
-
*Clean the plates etc with soap, rinse with demiwater and ethanol, and dry
 
-
*Assemble the system in the gel casting holder. Mark the line of separation/stacking
 
-
*Mix the separation gel in 10 ml plastic tube:
 
-
                              '''for 2 gels'''
 
-
'''Seperation gel (0.75 mm)'''              ''' 12.5%'''            '''16%'''   
 
-
    30% acrylamide                      4 ml            5.1 ml
 
-
    4X separation buffer                2.4 ml          2.4 ml
 
-
    MQ                                  3.2 ml          2.1 ml
 
-
    10% APS                            28 μl            28 μl
 
-
    TEMED                              28 μl            28 μl
 
-
*Pipet the separation gel mix immediately in between the glass plates until the marked line is reached
 
-
*Pipet water-saturated isobutanol on top of the polymerizing separation gel
 
-
*Let the separation gel polymerize completely before preparing the stacking gel
 
-
*When the gel is polymerized, discard the isobutanol and wash the gel with water
 
-
*Mix the stacking gel in a 10 ml tube:
 
-
                                '''for 2 gels'''
 
-
    mQ                              1.92 ml
 
-
    4X stacking buffer              0.83 ml
 
-
    30% acrylamide                  560 μl
 
-
    10% APS                          14 μl
 
-
    TEMED                            7 μl
 
-
*Pipet the stacking gel mix immediately on top of the separation gel and place the comb without air bubbles. Mark the teeth of the comb with a marker
 
-
*Let the gel polymerize (5-30 min); check also the remaining gelmix in the tube
 
-
*Disassemble the gel casting holder and take out the gel/plates
 
-
*Use the gel immediately or seal the gel in plastic seal bags and store at 4 °C
