Overview

Bio-Rad's 2-D Electrophoresis Workflow provides a comprehensive selection of product solutions and educational resources that guide you to better 2-D results.

4 Steps

  1. Sample Preparation — sample preparation is the first step toward optimizing your results. Bio-Rad offers easy-to-use kits: ReadyPrep™ 2-D starter kit, ReadyPrep 2-D cleanup kit, and ProteoMiner™ protein enrichment kit for getting started and for cleanup and enrichment of low-abundance proteins.
  2. First Dimension Electrophoresis — the first dimension of 2-D electrophoresis is separation based on a protein's isoelectric point. Bio-Rad's IPG strips offer many pH gradient options and strict quality control. The award-winning PROTEAN® i12™ IEF system gives you the flexibility to run multiple pH gradients, protocols, and samples simultaneously.
  3. Second Dimension Electrophoresis — the second dimension of 2-D electrophoresis is separation based on molecular weight. Bio-Rad's Criterion™ system, Criterion precast gels, Criterion™ Dodeca™ cell, and Precision Plus Protein™ standard plugs provide the confidence of a leakproof precast gel and the ability to run up to 12 gels at once.
  4. Staining, Imaging, and Analysis — staining, imaging, and analysis allow you to document and evaluate your 2-D results. With Bio-Rad's sensitive and hassle-free Oriole™ gel stain and versatile ChemiDoc™ MP imager, you can obtain high-quality images. Analyze those images with PDQuest™ software, a highly powerful tool for 2-D evaluation.
