3.8 Optimizing Transfer Conditions
The following techniques, alone or in combination, will increase transfer efficiency:
• Use a low-percentage gel or a gradient gel. High-percentage gels retard protein transfer, especially
with large proteins
• High molecular weight proteins may require increased transfer times, particularly when using thick
gels. Increase the transfer time or power conditions
• With long transfer times or high power conditions, some very low molecular weight proteins may
transfer through the membrane to the lower ion reservoir stack. Use a shorter transfer time or
reduce power conditions for most effecient transfers
• Use the blot roller to remove any air bubbles when assembling the transfer sandwich. Air bubbles
between layers of the assembled sandwich will prevent protein transfer, producing blank spots on
the membrane.
