  • Heating block
  • XCell SureLockTM Mini-Cell (ThermoFisher Scientific)
  • 4-12% Bis-Tris gels (ThermoFisher Scientific)
  • NuPAGE MES SDS Running Buffer (ThermoFisher Scientific)
  • SeeBlue Plus2 Pre-stained Protein Standard (ThermoFisher Scientific)
  • Instant Blue Protein stain (Abcam)
  • ChemiDoc MP Imaging system (Bio-Rad)
Troubleshooting
Sample preparation
Dilute NuPAGE Sample Buffer 4X Concentrate into protein samples 


Heat for 10 min at 95 °C 
Gel
