Description
Q-PAGE™ Bis-Tris Precast Gel is a high-performance and easy to use precast polyacrylamide gel for electrophoresis in Bis-Tris buffer system (MOPS or MES). The optimized gel formula allows Q-PAGE™ Bis-Tris Precast Gel to show improved resolution, accurate results, and an extended shelf-life over conventional Tris-Glycine gels.
Q-PAGE™ Bis-Tris Precast Gels are available in gradient (4 to 12%) and fixed (8% and 12%) concentrations of polyacrylamide in 12-and 15-well formats. Two available cassette sizes, Mini (10 x 8.3 cm) and Midi (10 x 10 cm), are compatible with most popular protein electrophoresis systems. Q-PAGE™ Mini (QP2XXX) Gels are suitable for Bio-Rad® and other systems. Q-PAGE™ Midi (QP3XXX) Gels are suitable for Invitrogen® XCell SureLock® Mini-Cell, Invitrogen® Mini Gel Tank, Hoefer SE260, and other systems.

Recommendations/Tips for Gel Running
1. Remove comb and tape before adaption. 2. Use fresh 1X running buffer for the inner cathode chamber. 3. Do not use Tris-Glycine running buffer for Q-PAGE™ Bis-Tris Precast Gels. 4. Rinse the wells before sample loading.
Sample Preparation for SDS-PAGE
1. Mix protein sample with 2X sample buffer.
2. Heat the diluted samples at 95°C for 5 min or at 70°C for 10 min.
3. Cool the diluted samples to 4°C and spin down the water condensed on tube surface. (If there is high viscosity part at bottom of tube, transfer supernatant to a new tube.)
Prepare Q-PAGE™ for Sample Loading
1.Open the blister tray of Q-PAGE™ Precast Gel.
2.Briefly rinse the gel cassette with ddH2O.
3.Remove tape and comb; avoid squeezing the gel.
4.Adapt Q-PAGE™ to electrophoresis system; instruction are provided below. (BioRad Mini-PROTEAN® Core Electrophoresis System is recommended.)
5.Use a pipette to gently wash the wells with running buffer to remove residual storage buffer.
6.Fill the wells with running buffer prior to sample loading.
7.Load samples and pre-stained protein marker into numbered wells.
8.Fill both inner and outer chambers with running buffer to the highest level. Ensure gel wells are completely covered.
Power Setting for Running Q-PAGE™
Optimize the voltage and running time if needed.
| 130 V | 180 V | 230 V*2 |
Running Time*1 | 45-60 mins | 25-40 mins | 15-30 mins |
Expected Current Initial (per gel) Final (per gel) |
60-70 mA 20-25 mA |
100-110 mA 40-50 mA |
130-140 mA 60-70 mA |
Expected temperature | 25-30°C | 25-35 °C | 35-45°C |
*1 Set voltage higher than 100 V is recommended.
*2 For higher voltage conditions, please use fresh running buffer for inner and outer chambers.
*3 Running time varies depending on gel percentage, running buffer, temperature, and power supply
Remove Q-PAGE™ Gel from Cassette
Open cassette immediately after electrophoresis. Avoid gel drying.
1.Insert the cassette opener into corners of cassette.
2.Sequentially pry the opener to separate the two plates.
3.Gently pull two plates apart from the top of cassette.
4.Carefully detach the gel either from the bottom of gel or the top side of the cassette.
-Avoid diagonally peeling the gel from the corner.
-Use water to help gel detachment if it needed
5.Gently remove the gel for further staining or Western blotting.
