Journey Through the Gel: Exploring Protein Electrophoresis

Protein electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate and analyze proteins based on their size and charge, offering a window into the complexity of protein mixtures. This method takes advantage of the fact that proteins have distinct charges due to their amino acid composition. When an electric field is applied to a protein sample, the proteins migrate through a gel matrix or solution at different rates according to their charge-to-mass ratio.

The two most common types of protein electrophoresis are polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and agarose gel electrophoresis. In PAGE, a polyacrylamide gel serves as the matrix through which proteins move. The gel’s porous nature slows down larger proteins more than smaller ones, resulting in separation based on size. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is often used in conjunction with PAGE to denature proteins and neutralize their charges, so that separation becomes primarily size-dependent. This variation is known as SDS-PAGE.

Protein electrophoresis has applications in various fields, such as molecular biology, biochemistry, proteomics, and clinical diagnostics. It’s commonly used to analyze protein composition, quantify protein expression levels, identify post-translational modifications, and compare protein profiles between different samples.

Beijing Liuyi Biotechnology Co., Ltd is a state-owned technology enterprise specializing in the production of biochemistry and molecular biology laboratory analytical instruments. Liuyi has specialized in manufacturing electrophoresis instruments for more than 50 years with its own processional technical team and R&D center. It has reliable and complete production line from design to inspection, and warehouse, as well as marketing support. The main products are Electrophoresis Cell (tank/chamber), Electrophoresis Power Supply, Blue LED Transilluminator, UV Transilluminator, Gel Image & Analysis System etc.. According to customers’ requirements, It can provide customized service.

In order  to provide good and professional service for our customers, we have our own lab to do experiments for our customers. Recently, our experimenter gave our sales team some training about using precast gel, and we use protein marker to run precast gel by DYCZ-24DN. Later, they need test one of semi-dry blotting tank for our customers.
