Action
Step
Remove the protective cover from the IPG strip.
1
Position it with the gel side down and the pointed (anodic) end of the strip
directed toward the pointed end of the strip holder.
2
With the pointed end first, lower the strip onto the solution. To help coat the
entire strip, gently lift and lower the strip and slide it back and forth along
the surface of the solution, tilting the strip holder slightly as needed to assure
complete and even wetting.
3
Lower the cathodic (square) end of the strip into the channel, making sure
that the IPG gel is in contact with the strip holder electrodes at each end.
The gel can be visually identified once the rehydration solution begins to
dye the gel. Be careful not to trap bubbles under the strip.
