5.1 2-D Rehydration/Sample Buffer Volume
The table that follows indicates appropriate volumes of 2-D
rehydration/sample buffer needed to rehydrate IPG strips of
specific lengths and the approximate amounts of protein
required for detection using silver stain or Coomassie Blue
G-250 stain. When loading the protein onto the IPG strips
by cup loading, refer to the Cup Loading Tray instruction
manual (4006216) for detailed instructions. When loading
the protein onto the IPG strips by passive/active rehyrdra-
tion, refer to the ReadyStrip
™
IPG Strip instruction manual
(4006166) for detailed instructions.
