I would like to run a NativePAGE gel. Which of your protein standards should I use?

We recommend using the NativeMark Unstained Protein Standard, Cat. No. LC0725 for native gel electrophoresis with Tris-Glycine, NuPAGE Tris-Acetate or NativePAGE gels.

Can I use the NativePAGE Sample and Running buffers with NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels?

We do not recommend using NativePAGE Sample and Running buffers with NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels. NuPAGE Invitrogen Bis-Tris gels are optimized for denaturing conditions and have an extremely low operating pH (pH 7.0), which makes it difficult for most proteins to migrate through them in a native state.

Can I use the NativePAGE Sample and Running buffers with Invitrogen Tris-Glycine gels or NuPAGE Tris-Acetate gels for native applications?

NativePAGE Sample Buffers and Running buffers were developed specifically for use with the NativePAGE Bis-Tris gels. We do not recommend using these buffers for native applications with any other gels, including NuPAGE Tris-Acetate or Invitrogen Tris-Glycine gels. For those gels, we recommend using the Invitrogen Tris-Glycine Native Sample and running buffers.
