I am using 30 ul of 2X sample buffer for 2 million cells in 30 ul 1X PBS
But, my sample is getting very viscous and it is very hard to load it in wells
every time samples comes out from wells
So, please suggest me the reasons for this
Hi Amit,
How do you prepare your samples and what kind of cells do you use?
It is because of high nucleic acid concentration in your sample. You can treat your sample with a nuclease for 10 - 15 min. In my experience heating to 80 - 90 0C may also help.
Dear
Ekaterina
I am using DT40 chicken cells
and taking 2 million cells in 30 ul of 1 X PBS and then adding to 30 ul of 2X sample buffer consisting of b mercaptoethanol
After that heating at 95 degrees
Currently I am expressing my protein in Rosetta cells and planning to purify the protein. Can anybody please suggest me the detailed procedure to generate antibodies against a protein in lab?

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...

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...

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...
