Protein Electrophoresis Kit

Students work with the protein kits.

The Protein Electrophoresis Kit contains all of the material needed to separate proteins based on size using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, known as SDS-PAGE. Based on the samples chosen for analysis, students can design several types of experiments for protein fingerprinting. Address evolutionary questions by comparing proteins from closely-related and distantly-related fish. Explore forensics by comparing proteins in an unknown sample to those of a known species. Analyze protein expression in different tissues, such as beef liver and beef muscle.
