Allow to polymerize. 9) Prepare your sample to IX loading dye. Mix, then boil for 5 mins. 10) When the gel is ready, assemble the running rig.

1) Decide what % acrylamide gel you want to run, given the size protein youwish to separate.

20-50 kDa 12 %50-100 kDa 10%100+ 7.5 %

2) Set up clean glass plates on the pouring rig knowing that each gel takes about5-10 mL of acrylamide solution and the stack about 2 mL

3) Mix together your reagents for the body of the gel, adding the TEMED last4) Use a serological pipette to fill the gel plates.5) Apply ~1 mL isopropanol using a pipetteman and allow to polymerize, -20

mins.6) Mix together the stack reagents, adding the TEMED last.7) Dump the isopropanol and use a kimwipe to dry the top of the gel8) Apply the stack and insert the comb.
