Sequential extraction can be carried out in a single
microcentrifuge tube, minimizing protein loss. The kit is
particularly well suited for use with 2-D PAGE systems
employing immobilized pH gradients for the first-dimension
IEF.
Section 2. Kit Components
Reagent 1. One vial. Lyophilized. Each vial of rehydrated
Reagent 1 contains 50 ml of 40 mM Tris base.
Reagent 2. Three vials. Lyophilized. Each vial of rehydrated
Reagent 2 contains 10 ml of 8 M urea, 4% (w/v) CHAPS, 40
mM Tris, and 0.2% (w/v) Bio-Lyte 3/10 ampholyte.
Reagent 3. Two vials. Lyophilized. Each vial of rehydrated
Reagent 3 contains 10 ml of 5 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 2% (w/v)
CHAPS, 2% (w/v) SB 3-10, 40 mM Tris, and 0.2% (w/v) Bio-
Lyte 3/10 ampholyte.
Reducing Agent TBP. One ampoule containing 0.6 ml of
200 mM tributyl phosphine (TBP) in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone
(NMP) sealed under nitrogen gas.
Empty Vial. One storage vial for reducing agent TBP.
Instruction Manual.
Note: CHAPS is 3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-
propanesulfonate, a zwitterionic detergent.
SB 3-10 is N-decyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-
propanesulfonate, or caprylyl sulfobetaine, a zwitterionic
detergent.
Bio-Lyte 3/10 is a mixture of carrier ampholytes, pH 3–10.
