I want to make SDS PAGE for my sample (Tick salivery gland extract), I tried concentrations 10%, 12%. I also tried high molecular weight ladder. But the protein stopped at the top and didn't run?
It seems the sample is having higher molecular weight proteins and obviously you have not mentioned clearly the desirable protein size of your choice. If protein size is more please go with 6% and 8% gel. Compare the bands clarity and resolution after staining.
