Chemicals and solutions for the IEF of mitochondrial proteins

Sample solution A: 5M urea, 2M thiourea, 2 CHAPS, 2 NDSB-256, 2mM tributylphosphine, 0.5 IPG buffer.

Prepare the solution without TBP and IPG buffer, filter through a 0.2-0.44 m filter, aliquot and store at -20° C. TBP and IPG buffer should be added to the sample solution only prior the use!

Sample solution B: 7M urea, 2M thiourea, 4 CHAPS, 1 ASB-14, 2mM tributylphosphine, 0.5 IPG buffer.

Prepare the solution without TBP and IPG buffer, filter through a 0.2-0.44 m filter, aliquot and store at -20° C. TBP and IPG buffer should be added to the sample solution only prior the use!

Equilibration buffer: 6M urea, 50mM Tris-HCl, 2 SDS, 30 glycerol, 5mM tributylphosphine, pH 6.8.

Filter the solution through a 0.2-0.44 m filter, aliquot and store at -20° C.
