Protean ief cell focusing unit

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States

The Protean IEF Cell focusing unit is a laboratory equipment designed for isoelectric focusing (IEF) of proteins. It provides a controlled environment for the separation and analysis of proteins based on their isoelectric point. The device features a temperature-controlled chamber and supports the use of various IEF gel formats.

Differential Proteomics of Platelets in Myocardial Infarction

Platelets from patients with myocardial infarction and non-ischemic chest pain were lysed in 100 µL of CHAPS lysis buffer (8M Urea, 4% CHAPS, 2% DTT) and purified using a 2D Clean-up kit (GE Healthcare, Freiburg, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Comparative 2D gel analysis of the proteomes was performed as described previously with slight modifications [34 (link)]. First dimension isoelectric focusing was performed using a Protean IEF Cell focusing unit (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) with pH 3–10NL gel strips (11 cm, GE Healthcare, for some subsequent gels pH 4–7). For the second dimension, equilibrated (5.7M Dithiothreitol and 1.5M Iodoacetamide) gel strips were applied to 12% polyacrylamide gels. Proteins were stained with Lava purple fluorescent staining (Fluorotechnics, Sydney, Australia). Protein spots of interest were excised manually from the gels, digested with trypsin and analyzed by LC ESI-MS/MS as described previously [35 (link)]. Peptide sequence analysis by mass spectrometry of the isolated protein spots resulted in the identification of the differential cleavage of kindlin-3 in the myocardial infarction group.

Proteomic Analysis of TPCN1 KO Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isoelectric focusing (IEF) was performed in pH 4-7 immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips of 24 cm (GE Healthcare, UK). 500 μg of protein from LV of TPCN1 KO and WT mice independently was applied to each strip, and subjected to passive rehydration in 250 μL of 2-DE extraction buffer supplemented with ampholytes (0.1% servalyte 3-10, 0.05% servalyte 9-10 (SERVA, DE)) during 24 h after centrifugation at 13000g for 5 min. Passive rehydration was followed by active rehydration at 50 V during 12 h before IEF, performed in a Protean IEF Cell focusing unit (BioRad, USA) until 20000 V/total h were reached.
Subsequently to IEF, the IPG strips were equilibrated for 15 min in 4 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 50 mM Tris pH 6.8, 2% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), 12 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) and 30% glycerol. SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was performed on 12% polyacrylamide gels using a Protean Plus Dodeca Cell (BioRad, USA) at 15 mA/ gel for 12 h or until the dye front reached the bottom of the gel, at 18°C constant temperature.
The 2-DE gels were stained with Sypro Ruby (Lonza, CH) following manufacturer's instructions.

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.
