* Use an ampholyte buffer that corresponds to the pH range of the IEF
separation to be performed. For example, ReadyStrip ™ micro-range buffers
with ReadyStrip micro-range IPG strips and ReadyStrip 7-10 buffer with
ReadyStrip pH 7-10 IPG strips. Bio-Lyte 3/10 ampholyte can be used with
all other ReadyStrip IPG strip pH ranges.
