i. Prepare Dissolving Gel first
· Composition of 10% Dissolving Gel
o For one gel you need the following ingredients with amounts
§ DD H2o 1.75 ml
§ 30% Acr, Bis 2.1 ml
§ 4x Buffer ( minor) 1.33 ml (PH 8.8)
§ TEMED 3.5 µl
NOTE: AS we know that APS is Solidifying Agent, so after adding the above ingredients,
§ Add 10% APS 3.5 µl
· Mix them & fill it on the Gel caste
· Add some DD- H2o to gel caste, in order to equalize the volume & remove the bubbles
· Remove the gel containing caste after 30 min.
ii. Prepare Stocking gel & add it to the cold dissolving gel & add the combs
· Composition of Stocking Gel
o For one gel you need the following ingredients with amounts
§ DD H2o 1.4 ml
§ 30% Acr, Bis 420 µl
§ 4x Buffer (Major) 621.6 µl (PH 6.8)
§ TEMED 3.5 µl
NOTE: AS we know that APS is Solidifying Agent, so after adding the above ingredients,
§ Add 10% APS 3.5 µl
§ Pour the stocking gel on the surface of dissolving gel & Add comb
iii. Transfer the gel to buffer after removing comb

Why the pH of stacking gel and resolving gel are different?
Stacking gel has a different pH from resolving gel because stacking gel is made out of Tris?HCI buffer which has a pH of 6.8. This makes sure that it is about 2 units different from the pH of resolving gel.
Why stacking gel used in electrophoresis?
Stacking gel is used to make a thin uniform band of the DNa sample before the real seperation takes place.
How do you get agarose gel to solidify when it doesn't solidify after 10 min in the refrigerator?
I usually add EtBr
Function of resolving gel in SDS PAGE?
Generally, SDS-PAGE is carried out with a discontinuous buffer system. It consists of a stacking gel(approximately 0.8-1cm) poured over a resolving gel (approximately 5-6cm long). The protein samples and stacking gel are prepared using Tris-Cl (pH 6.8), whereas the resolving gel is made in Tris-Cl (pH 8.8). However, for running the gel, the buffer reservoirs are filled with Tris-glycine buffer (pH 8.3). This provides differences in the pH and ionic strength between the electrophoresis buffer and the buffers used to cast the gel. As a result, the proper separation of the proteins is achieved.In order to prepare the gel, first, resolving gel (usually 10-12%) is poured between the glass plates. Generally, spacers of 0.75-1mm are used between the glass plates. Immediately, a layer of deionized water is added. This gives a uniform straight surface to the resolving gel and also helps in removing any un-polymerized residual form of the gel.After polymerization, the water layer is removed by turning the glass plate assembly upside down for a few seconds. Then stacking gel of larger pore size (usually 4-5%) is poured. A comb is inserted from the top of the glass plate assembly to make the wells. After the completion of polymerization, comb is removed and wells are rinsed with deionized water to remove any un-polymerized gel portion. The main function of stacking gel is to concentrate the protein samples into a sharp band before their entry into the resolving gel.
Why is gelatin liquefied in the presence of gelatinase?
Gelatinase is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down the protein gelatin. Since the active ingredient of gelatin is the protein gelatin, the gel cannot solidify in the presence of gelatinase.

What is the function of the gel?
Separating gel allows the separation of protein molecules according to their molecular weight by sieving effect of pores in the gel(percentage). The pH of separating or resolving gel is 8.8, whereas stacking gel (upper gel that squeezes protein as a thin layer) made of pH6.8.
What is the function and usage of stacking gel in sds-page?
The stacking gel is a large pore PAG (4%T). This gel is prepared with Tris/HCl buffer pH 6.8 of about 2 pH units lower than that of electrophoresis buffer (Tris/Glycine). These conditions provide an environment for Kohlrausch reactions determining molar conductivity, as a result, SDS-coated proteins are concentrated to several fold and a thin starting zone of the order of 19 μm is achieved in a few minutes. This gel is cast over the resolving gel. The height of the stacking gel region is always maintained more than double the height and the volume of the sample to be applied.this is based on [isotachophoresis] that is glycine from electrophoresis buffer have lower electrophoretic mobility than protein-sds complex which is less mobile than cl- ions.giycine-

What is SDS phage?
there is nothing like SDS phage but... 1. SDS is a well know detergent used to denature proteins before electrophoresis called SDSPAGE. 2. phage (bacteriophage) is a virus that infects the bacteria which contains eother DNA or RNA. SDS PAGE can be used to determine the phage proteins which u can call SDSPAGE of phage.

What part of speech is solidify?
Solidify is a verb.
Is solidify reversible or irreversible?
solidify is an irreversible
Why was speed stacking invented?
why was cup stacking invented
Is epoxy toxic?
Yes. It is possible to kill someone with epoxy. As epoxy turns from a liquid to a gel to a solid, if you ingest epoxy and it is activated it will expand and solidify inside your body. As you can imagine, the effects are gruesome and will kill you.
