Troubleshooting 2-D Electrophoresis Gels with 2-D Doctor

The 2-D Doctor is a self-help guide developed by Bio-Rad that enables you to identify and troubleshoot your 2-D gel issues. Comprehensive solutions and suggestions are provided to help solve 2-D gel electrophoresis challenges.

Related Topics: Protein Sample Preparation for 2-D Electrophoresis, First-Dimension Separation (Isoelectric Focusing), Second-Dimension Separation, Staining and Visualization of Proteins After 2-D Electrophoresis, Imaging and Analysis of 2-D Electrophoresis Gels and Protein Spot Excision and Protein Identification.

To start troubleshooting your 2-D gel problems choose the type of issue you are experiencing: horizontal streaking, vertical streaking or other.

 

I am having trouble with:

Horizontal Streaking Vertical Streaking Irregular Spot Patterns
