Transfer Conditions
The blotting transfer conditions shown in Table 2 are only suggestions. Efficiency of
transfer depends on the percentage of gel used for the electrophoresis run, the physical
characteristics of the proteins being transferred, and on how many times the transfer
buffer has been used.
The conditions were developed using 12% T gels, 193 mM glycine, 25 mM Tris, 20%
methanol, 0.1% SDS. Transfers were made onto nitrocellulose. A refrigerated
circulating water bath set at 4 °C was used for all transfers.
Completing the Transfer
1. When the transfer is complete, turn the voltage and current settings to zero and turn
off the power supply. Disconnect the leads from the power supply jacks.
2. Open the lid and lift out the cassettes.
3. Open each cassette carefully and remove the gels. Lift the membranes with blunt
forceps.
Note
Transfer buffer
may be re-used two to
three times. Store buffer
in a separate container
and cool to 10 °C before
reuse.
Discard the blotter paper. Rinse the sponges with ddH
2
O and reuse them
indefinitely.
4. With a soft-lead pencil, label each membrane and indicate the sample side.
5. Rinse the unit immediately after use.
