SuperSep Ace

SuperSep™ Ace is a polyacrylamide gel for electrophoresis with high resolution and long-term storage stability. It can be used not only in general SDS-PAGE, but also in electrophoresis of DNA. With no gel in SDS, it can also be used in native-PAGE. In addition, SuperSep™ Ace Mini, which is smaller than normal gels and allows more rapid electrophoresis (approximately 20 minutes), is currently available.

Examples of use

Example1 Electrophoresis of gel filtration-purified fractions for E. coli-expressed His-tagged protein

SuperSep™ was used for electrophoresis of gel filtration-purified fractions for E. coli-expressed His-tagged protein (35 kDa) to identify fractions containing the target protein.

Fraction No. 84 to 96 had a band at 35 kDa, showing that E. coli-expressed His-tagged protein was contained in Fractions No. 84 to 96.

Example2 Determination of purified protein concentration

SuperSep™ was used for electrophoresis of E. coli-expressed His-tagged protein purified as described above in Example1 and albumin solutions to determine the concentration of purified protein.

The thickness of the bands detected showed that the concentration of purified E. coli-expressed His-tagged protein was approximately 0.45 mg/mL.

SuperSep™ Ace Mini

Features

  • Electrophoresis is completed in approximately 20 minutes (constant voltage: 300 V)
  • Useful to confirm protein expression or purification
  • High storage stability

Examples of use

SuperSep™ Ace Mini was used for electrophoresis of IgG antibody solutions. It was demonstrated that 20 minutes of electrophoresis resulted in good separation of markers and proteins in individual samples.。

Secret technique for time-saving

CBB staining using a microwave

A secret technique for completing the entire process from electrophoresis using SuperSep™ Ace Mini*1 to CBB staining to confirm protein expression in approximately 40 minutes*2 is described below. Please try it.

  • 1 SuperSep™ Ace can also be used.
  • 2 The time required depends on the experimental conditions.
Reagents and instruments required
  • Quick-CBB PLUS (Product Number: 174-00553)
  • Microwave
  • Plastic wrap
  • Kimwipes®
  • Heat-resistant tray for holding gel
Procedure
  1. SDS-PAGE
  2. Staining using a microwave: 1 minute x 2 to 4 times
    Soak the gel in staining solution and then cover it with plastic wrap for 1-minute heating in a microwave (500 W). Repeat this procedure until the entire gel becomes colored.
  3. Decolorization using a microwave: 1 minute x 4 to 6 times
    Discard the staining solution in the tray and pour 100 mL of deionized water to soak the gel. Heat the tray with rounded Kimwipes® inside in a microwave (500 W) for approximately 1 minute and then replace deionized water. Repeat the same procedure several times.*3
    • 3 The gel under the solution is not broken by bumping. To remove the background, leave the gel in deionized water overnight.
Note:
If the gel is completely covered with plastic wrap, make several holes with a needle. Since the tray becomes very hot, use gloves when removing it.
