Hi Tun,

Please choose the appropriate gel concentration according to the molecular weight of the target protein. For 8Kda protein, it is recommended to use a separation gel with a concentration of 15%, while for 56Kda protein, use a separation gel with a concentration of 10%.

Hope it helps!

Tun Tt

Alright, noted with thanks Mr Rojer Davis.
