Novex™ Tris-Glycine Mini Protein Gels, 4–20%, 1.0 mm, WedgeWell™ format, 2 gels (1 box) - FAQs

电流异常升高的最常见原因是转膜缓冲液。如果转膜缓冲液浓度太高，会导致电导率增加和电流升高。如果不小心用Tris-HCl代替了转膜缓冲液所需的Tris base，也会导致高电流。Tris-HCl可使缓冲液pH降低，引起电导率和电流升高，从而导致过热。我们建议检查转膜缓冲液及其试剂成分，然后重新稀释或重新配制缓冲液。

NuPAGE凝胶比Invitrogen Tris-甘氨酸凝胶具有以下优势：

•稳定性更高，保质期更长：
- NuPAGE Bis-Tris凝胶和NuPAGE Tris-Acetate凝胶的操作pH（NuPAGE Bis-Tris凝胶为pH 7，NuPAGE Tris-Acetate凝胶为pH 8.1）比Invitrogen Tris-甘氨酸凝胶（pH 9.5）更低。在碱性pH下，聚丙烯酰胺水解为聚丙烯酸和氨，而中性pH可减少这种水解的发生。因此，NuPAGE凝胶比Invitrogen Tris-甘氨酸凝胶的稳定性更高，保质期更长（NuPAGE Bis-Tris凝胶可在4-25℃保存12个月，NuPAGE Tris-Acetate凝胶可在4℃保存8个月，而Tris-甘氨酸凝胶在4℃只能保存4-8周）。

•蛋白质分辨率更高，因为：
- 意外的化学修饰减少：在碱性pH（8.5-9.0）下，游离的丙烯酰胺可使蛋白质烷基化。其靶点是位于N端和赖氨酸上的氨基和半胱氨酸上的巯基。当pH低于8时，不会发生这种修饰。因此，与Tris-甘氨酸凝胶电泳相比，蛋白质在NuPAGE凝胶上电泳将更少发生这类意外的化学修饰。
- 蛋白质水解减少：加热Tris-甘氨酸样品缓冲液（pH 6.8），可使pH大幅降低，导致蛋白质的Asp-Pro断裂。高温和长时间加热/煮沸会增加这种断裂的发生率，导致出现多条较弱的带。在100℃时，pH降低至4.3。与其不同，NuPAGE LDS样品缓冲液（pH 8.5）加热至70℃时，pH降低至8.1，可避免发生这种断裂。

•电泳时间更短（NuPAGE Bis-Tris凝胶仅需35–50分钟，NuPAGE Tris-Acetate凝胶仅需1小时，而Tris甘氨酸凝胶则需90分钟）

所有去污剂，甚至是细胞提取物中的磷脂，都会与SDS形成混合胶团并向下迁移到凝胶中。它们还会干扰SDS与蛋白质的结合平衡。大部分非离子洗涤剂，包括NP-40，是SDS-PAGE最严重的干扰物质。使这种不良影响最小化的经验方法是，将SDS与脂质或其他去污剂的比例保持在10:1或更大。

所有Invitrogen蛋白质凝胶都含有蔗糖。蔗糖是一种密度调节剂，可促进凝胶的灌制。在Invitrogen凝胶电泳上的蛋白质样品会被大量蔗糖污染。因此，不推荐将Invitrogen凝胶用于此应用。

凝胶塑料卡的材料是苯乙烯共聚物。

我们不推荐回收凝胶塑料卡，因为凝胶塑料卡的化学涂层在融化时会产生有毒烟雾，并可能导致污染。

中型凝胶比小型凝胶更宽，因此，每块凝胶的上样孔更多，可容纳更多的样品。在小型凝胶上开展的实验可轻松放大到相同化学成分的中型凝胶上。请在下表中查看不同化学成分Invitrogen小型和中型凝胶的尺寸：

中型凝胶
NuPAGE Bis-Tris、NuPAGE Tris-Acetate和Invitrogen Tris-甘氨酸：凝胶尺寸 13 cm x 8.3 cm，凝胶塑料卡尺寸 15 cm x 10.3 cm

小型凝胶
NuPAGE Bis-Tris、NuPAGE Tris-Acetate和Invitrogen Tris-甘氨酸：凝胶尺寸8 cm x 8 cm，凝胶塑料卡尺寸 10 cm x 10 cm
新型Bolt Bis-Tris Plus（货号NWxxxxBOX）：凝胶尺寸8 cm x 8.3 cm，凝胶塑料卡尺寸 10 cm x 10 cm
老款 Bolt Bis-Tris Plus（货号BGxxxxBOX）： 凝胶尺寸8 cm x 8.3 cm，凝胶塑料卡尺寸 10 cm x 10.5 cm

我们所有的Invitrogen蛋白质凝胶都具有小型规格。某些化学成分的凝胶（NuPAGE Bis-Tris、NuPAGE Tris-Acetate和Invitrogen Tris-甘氨酸凝胶）还具有较宽的中型规格。应注意，Bolt Bis-Tris凝胶无中型规格。我们的Thermo Scientific Precise预制胶只有小型规格。

如果你是在恒定电压下运行凝胶，你不需要根据凝胶的数量增加电压。然而，所观察到的电流和瓦特数将与凝胶数线性相乘。请记住，您的凝胶的预期总电流不应超过电源的电流限制，否则电流将趋于平稳，运行速度将减慢。(例如:使用MES缓冲液运行NuPAGE Bis-Tris凝胶的推荐恒压为200 V，起始电流为110-125 mA/gel，结束电流为70-80 mA/gel。如果电源的电流限制为500毫安，则在满电的情况下可以同时运行的NuPAGE Bis-Tris凝胶的最大数量为500毫安/125毫安 = 4块凝胶。任何额外的凝胶将减少每块凝胶上的电流并增加运行时间。

我们推荐使用NativeMark非预染蛋白质标准品，货号LC0725。

我们不推荐在同一块凝胶上同时跑还原型和非还原型蛋白质样品，特别是在相邻的泳道中。因为，还原剂可能对距离很近的非还原型样品产生后遗效应。

我们不推荐长期保存还原型蛋白质样品，即使是冷冻保存。因为，样品在保存期间可能发生再氧化，使结果不一致。

We do not recommend using gels past their expiration date because over time, the polyacrylamide hydrolyzes to acrylic acid and ammonia and this will affect the resolution of the proteins. Breakdown of polyacrylamide matrix is identified by:
- Ghost bands and doublets, seen first in the high molecular weight proteins
- Smiling of dye front across the gel, with bands in outer lanes becoming very slanted - proteins run slower there due to change in pH and pore size over time.

This is not really recommended, but it is always possible to increase run time by lowering the voltage of the run. In general, the relationships are linear - i.e., decreasing voltage by half will double the run time.

If you are running the gel at constant voltage, you do not need to increase the voltage regardless of the thickness of the gel.

Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Protein Electrophoresis and Western Blotting Support Center.

Using constant voltage allows the current and power to decrease during the run, providing a safety margin in case of a break in the system. Having lower power is a safety benefit and will also decrease the chances of experiencing an overheating of the gel. Further, the constant voltage setting does not need adjustment to account for differences in number or thickness of gels being run.

The most common cause of abnormally high current is the transfer buffer. If the transfer buffer is too concentrated, this leads to increased conductivity and current. High current may also occur if Tris-HCl is accidentally substituted for the Tris base required in the transfer buffer. This will again result in low buffer pH and lead to increased conductivity and current and subsequently, overheating. We recommend checking the transfer buffer and its reagent components and re-diluting or remaking the buffer.

NuPAGE gels have the following advantages over Tris-Glycine gels:

*Higher stability and longer shelf life: NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels and NuPAGE Tris-Acetate gels have a lower operating pH (pH 7 for NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels and pH 8.1 for NuPAGE Tris-Acetate gels) than Invitrogen Tris-Glycine gels (pH 9.5). At basic pH, polyacrylamide hydrolyzes to polyacrylic acid and ammonia whereas at neutral pH, this hydrolysis is slower. Hence, NuPAGE gels have higher stability and longer shelf life than Invitrogen Tris-Glycine gels (12 months at 4-25 degrees C for NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels and 8 months at 4 degrees C for NuPAGE Tris-Acetate gels vs 4-8 weeks at 4 degrees C for Tris-Glycine gels).

*Better resolution of proteins due to:

- Reduced undesired chemical modifications: Free acrylamide alkylates proteins at basic pH (8.5 to 9.0). It targets sulfhydryl cysteines and amine groups at the N-terminus and on lysines. This modification does not happen at pH below 8. Hence, proteins run on NuPAGE gels undergo fewer of these undesired chemical modifications than those run on Tris-Glycine gels.

- Reduced hydrolysis of proteins: Heating of Tris-Glycine sample buffer (pH 6.8) results in a drop in pH, causing Asp-Pro cleavage of proteins. High temperature and longer duration of heating/boiling increase the rate of this cleavage resulting in multiple peptide bands of decreased intensity. At 100 degrees C, the pH drops as low as pH 4.3. On the other hand, NuPAGE LDS sample buffer (pH 8.5) drops to pH 8.1 when heated to 70 degrees C, avoiding this cleavage.

*Faster run times: 35-50 min for NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels and 1 hour for NuPAGE Tris-Acetate gels vs 90 min for Tris-Glycine gels

Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Protein Electrophoresis and Western Blotting Support Center.

The operating pH for Tris-Glycine gels is 9.5; the operating pH for NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels is 7 and for NuPAGE Tris-Acetate gels is 8.1.

All detergents, or even phospholipids in cell extracts, will form mixed micelles with SDS and migrate down into the gel. They can also interfere with the SDS:protein binding equilibrium. Most of the non-ionic detergents, including NP-40, are the worst at interfering with SDS-PAGE. The rule of thumb is to keep the ratio of SDS to lipid or other detergent at 10:1 or greater to minimize these effects.

If you are running the gels at constant voltage, you do not need to increase the voltage regardless of the number of gels. However, the resulting current and wattage observed will multiply linearly with the number of gels. Keep in mind that the expected total current for your gels should not exceed the current limit of the power supply, or else the current will plateau and the run will slow down. (For example: Recommended constant voltage for running a NuPAGE Bis-Tris gel with MES Buffer is 200 V, with a starting current of 110-125 mA/gel and end current of 70-80 mA/gel. If the power supply has a current limit of 500 mA, the maximum number of NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels that can be run at one time with full power is 500 mA/125 mA = 4 gels. Any additional gels will decrease the current per gel and increase the run time.
