6.4 Sample Preparation
1. Determine the appropriate concentration of sample to load (depends on the load volume and the
detection method used; see Chapter 12 for approximate stain sensitivities).
2. Dilute the sample with at least an equivalent volume of sample buffer (catalog #161-0739) and
reducing agent (
β-mercaptoethanol, for example). Heat the diluted sample at 90–95°C for 5 min,
or at 70°C for 10 min.
For example, combine:
5 μl sample
4.75 μl Tricine sample buffer (catalog #161-0739)
0.25
μl
β-mercaptoethanol (catalog #161-0710)
