I need to confirm some results of 2D immunoblotting by carrying out the western blot (1 D) using same samples that are prepared for 2D using rehydration buffer contains 8M urea, 4% CAPS, 40 mM trisCl 6.8 and DTT. as i know that boiling urea will cause carbamylation. i wonder whether i can use the sample directly in my WB without boiling.

when i perform the 2 D gel of my proteins in the rehydration samples the second dimension works perfectly so i assume loading the samples directly will also work.

is the equilibration step after IEF contribute to the resolution of the 2nd dimension?
