Invitrogen™ Novex™ Tricine Mini Protein Gels, 16%, 1.0 mm

Features of Novex Tricine protein gels:

• Increased resolution of proteins with molecular weights as low as 2 kDa
• Improved compatibility with direct sequencing of proteins after transferring to PVDF
• Minimized protein modification due to the lower pH of the tricine buffering system

Formulation

Invitrogen Tricine gels are made with high-purity, strictly quality-controlled reagents: Tris base, HCl, acrylamide, bisacrylamide, TEMED, APS, and highly purified water. Our Tricine gels have a 4% stacking gel and do not contain SDS. The Tricine system requires SDS in sample and running buffers for best results.

Choose the right Tricine gel for your protein separation

Invitrogen Tricine gels come in three polyacrylamide concentrations of 10%, 16%, and a gradient of 10–20%. Select from our many well formats, including 10-, 12-, and 15-well. Tricine gels are formulated for denaturing gel electrophoresis applications. For optimal sample preparation, we recommend Tricine SDS Sample Buffer (LC1676) and optimal separation use Tricine SDS Running Buffer (LC1675).

For transfer of proteins to a membrane, we recommend using the Novex Tris-Glycine Transfer Buffer (LC3675) if performing a traditional wet transfer using the XCell II Blot Module (EI9051) or the Mini Blot Module (B1000). Rapid semi-dry transfer can be performed using the Invitrogen Power Blotter or rapid dry transfer using the iBlot 2 Gel Transfer Device (IB21001).
