Electrophoresis of E-PAGE
™
Gels
Introduction
After preparing your samples, you are ready to load E-PAGE
™
Gels. This
section describes the procedure for loading protein samples and molecular
weight standards.
The Mother E-Base
™
and Daughter E-Base
™
Electrophoresis Devices are
designed to fit most robotic platforms allowing you to load and run E-PAGE
™
Gels directly on the automated liquid handling system.
If you need to load multiple gels on a robotic platform while other gels are
running on the E-Base
™
Electrophoresis Devices, use an E-Holder
™
Platform
(page 17).
If you are using an automated liquid handling device, it is important to align
the robotic tip loading assembly to the proper setting prior to loading samples
on the E-PAGE
™
48
or
96
Gels. This ensures proper loading of samples into the
wells. See page 17 for automation guidelines.
•
Dispose of gels as hazardous waste.
•
Avoid touching the gel while the gel is running.
Using the
Barcode
Each E-PAGE
™
48
and
96
Gel cassette is labeled with an individual barcode.
The barcode facilitates the identification of each gel cassette during
electrophoresis of multiple gels. Each E-PAGE
™
cassette contains an EAN 39
type of barcode, which is recognized by the majority of commercially available
barcode readers. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to set up the barcode
reader.
Note:
When capturing an image of an E-PAGE
™
Gel, note that the barcode
label is easily overexposed. To ensure that the barcode label is distinct and
readable in the image, experiment with different shutter settings for your
particular camera.
