5. High Membrane Binding Affinity
The membrane (PVDF or NC) after transferring during western blot experiment needs to undergo blocking, primary and secondary antibody incubation, and a multi-step washing process in between. It can take as short as 3 hours or even overnight. In a controlled experiment, our marker and ones of Thermo and Biorad are subjected to 3 hours to overnight washing with TBST washing buffer. After 3 hours, all bands of our products are very clear while the brightness of Thermo’s 10 kD band has been extremely weak and Biorad’s 25K band has completely disappeared, and its 10 KD band is also extremely weak. After overnight washing, only 25K and 20K of our marker are weakened, and the rest of the bands are still very clear. In comparison, Thermo’s 10 KD band is almost completely disappeared, and the two red bands is very faint. More than half of the bands for Biorad product disappears or becomes very faint. |

6. Migration Patterns
The migration of the prestained marker proteins during electrophoresis depends not only on the proteins themselves but also on the coupled dyes. Therefore, the markers usually show different migration patterns in different electrophoresis systems. The MWs of them are originally calibrated in Tris gel/Tris-Glycine buffer system (Table A). The shifts of the markers in other electrophoresis systems are shown in Table B-D for references. We highly recommend to specifically calibrate their MWs by unstained protein MW standard in corresponding systems other than Tris gel/Tris-Glycine buffer. |
