I guess that the reducing sample buffer might have expired so that the b-mercaptoethanol is no longer stable which in turn did not result in reduction and the proteins could not migrate properly through the gel (12%). Please give your view points.
Try again with freshly prepared loading buffer in 8 to 10% of gel. And try to include a positive control sample if possible.
Add DTT to your protein purification buffers since sometimes disulfure bonds could be the answer!!
I agree with Omar, I don't think the proteins were denatured and there may have been some aggregates as well.
use fresh SDS buffer with BME. and boil the sample for 5-15 min
Hi sir,
What sample you are using here?
Thanks everyone.. With the fresh reducing sample dye with BME the results are fine now..

If there is no size limit, is there any possibility of ribosomes to be taken into consideration?

I got these smeared bands quite often lately. We typically run the gel at 140V with a 10-12% gel and do a wet transfer at 220 mA for 1.5 hr in cold room. We also noticed some dirty spots/dots (see...

Does anyone tried to do nucleofection with AMAXA by Lonza with lower than recommended amount of buffer in the cuvettes (100 ul)?

Currently, when I run SDS-PAGE, I don't see any bands at all, even though I used the same material just a day ago and it worked fine.... In our lab, we dilute the 10X running buffer to 1X and...

Is it the "elution buffer" or the "dialysis buffer"? Note: I'll be using NanoDrop OneC

Hello everyone, I performed a PCR yesterday, and the results showed no bands on the gel. Of course, I probably missed some crucial steps, like adding my samples to the PCR strips themselves, for...
