Protein loading buffer

Manufactured by Transgene
Sourced in China

6× protein loading buffer is a laboratory reagent used to prepare protein samples for electrophoresis. It contains a mixture of chemicals that help denature and solubilize proteins, allowing them to migrate through a gel matrix during the electrophoresis process. The buffer also contains a tracking dye to monitor the progress of the electrophoresis run.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
