Gels for isoelectric focusing, native PAGE, and those containing basic proteins or acid-urea may be transferred in 0. When using acetic acid for transfer, the proteins will be positively charged, so the membrane should be placed on the cathode side of the gel. SDS in the gel and in the SDS-protein complexes promotes elution of the protein from the gel but inhibits binding of the protein to membranes. In cases where certain proteins are difficult to elute from the gel, SDS may be added to the transfer buffer to improve transfer.
SDS in the transfer buffer decreases the binding efficiency of protein to nitrocellulose membrane; PVDF membrane can be substituted for nitrocellulose when SDS is used in the transfer buffer. Addition of SDS increases the relative current, power, and heating during transfer and may affect the antigenicity of some proteins.
Alcohol methanol or ethanol , on the other hand, removes the SDS from SDS-protein complexes and improves the binding of protein to nitrocellulose membrane but has some negative effects on the gel itself. Alcohol may cause a reduction in pore size, precipitation of some protein, and some basic proteins to become positively charged or neutral. All of these factors will affect blotting efficiency.
Note : Only high-quality, analytical grade methanol should be used in transfer buffer; impure methanol can increase transfer buffer conductivity and result in poor transfer.

You can create and edit multiple shopping carts Edit mode — allows you to edit or modify an existing requisition prior to submitting. You will be able to modify only the cart that you have PunchedOut to, and won't have access to any other carts Inspect mode — when you PunchOut to Bio-Rad from a previously created requisition but without initiating an Edit session, you will be in this mode.

Geetha Yadav — September 15, Download PDF for a printable version of this article. Know your transfer method Understanding the different methods of transfer and which one would be optimal for your protein is the first step. Optimize your transfer conditions Whichever transfer method you choose, conditions need to be optimized for the best transfer efficiency. Adjust buffers based on your protein Whether you are using an existing lab protocol or one from a publication, you may need to recalibrate buffer formulations based on your protein of interest.
Dissolve 5. Add ml of methanol; adjust volume to 1 L with ddH 2 O. Do not add acid or base to adjust pH. Dissolve 0. This is especially good for semi-dry applications. Mix 2.
Add ml methanol. Adjust your transfer time Irrespective of what is stated in the protocol, some optimization of transfer time may be needed for your protein. Semi-dry transfer Use 10—15 V for 15—30 min. Rapid transfer Transfer for 7—10 min. To avoid this, the following conditions are recommended: Change only the transfer time and no other parameter.
