(Please refer to gel list of chapter 4), vacuum degassing for more than 15

minutes.

3) Put APS and TEMED in single solution after being vacuum degassed, and

use the pipette or sample adding pipette to inject the solution between

glass plate until reach the marker. Keep stable injection in order to avoid

the blend with air.

4) Cover the surface of solution by water or tert-amyl alcohol (2- methyl, 2-

butanol). Note: Please inject the water slowly and stably in order to avoid

blend with air.

5) Leave the gel from 45 minutes to 60 minutes until it is of polymerization.

Cleanse the surface of gel completely by double distilled water. Do not let

the matters of alcohol kind stay on the gel more than 1 hour in order to

avoid the dehydration of upper part of gel.

Note: Such separated gel can be store in room temperature overnight. Add 5 ml

of 1.5MTri-HCl with ratio of 1 to 4 and buffer with pH8.8 (Laemmli system) to

the separated gel to be dried. In case of other buffer, please add 5 ml of 1 fold

diluted solution.

6) Prepare spacer gel single solution, blend all the reagents except APS and

TEMED, vacuum degassing for more than 15 minutes.

7) Use the filter paper to dry the surface of separated gel before injecting

spacer gel.

8) Add APS and TEMED in the degassed spacer gel single solution and

inject the solution until it reaches the level the glass plate.

9) Insert comb and make sure that the back of comb and the glass plate are

on the same level.

10) Leave the gel from 45 minutes to 60 minutes until it is of polymerization.

11) Take out the comb slightly and cleanse the surface of gel by distilled water

and buffer.

12) Cleanse the used gel clamp frame and gel casting frame by distilled water

and ion-removing water.

b. Continued polyacrylamide gel

1). Blend all the reagent except APS and TEMED to make gel single solution

(Please refer to gel list of chapter 4), vacuum degassing for more than 15

minutes.

2). Put APS and TEMED in single solution after being vacuum degassed, and

inject the solution until it reaches the level the glass plate.

3). Insert comb and make sure that the back of comb and the glass plate are on

the same level.

4). Leave the gel from 45 minutes to 60 minutes until it is of polymerization.

5). Take out the comb slightly and cleanse the surface of gel by distilled water

and buffer.

And cleanse the used gel clamp frame and gel casting frame by distilled water

and ion-removing water.

2 Installation of electrophoresis module and adding sample

Clean and dry XinPRO electrophoresis buffer tank.

Electrophoresis module (Electrophoresis core can only be used for 1 piece gel

or 2 pieces of gels, the shared module should be used in case of 3 pieces of gels

or 4 pieces of gels.

1) Installation

Note: If only run 2 pieces of gels, please use electrode head electrophoresis

core. If only run 4 pieces of gels, please use the electrode head electrophoresis

core and mushroom head electrophoresis core, each module for 2 pieces of

gels.

a. Put the opened gel-casting frame on the clean and horizontal surface of desk

(Please refer to the figure 4a).

b. Adjust the short glass plate inwardly, put the first gel sandwich on the gel

supporter, put the module of gel supporter on both two sides of bottom of

module, each side with two, in case of which, there is a 30 degrees angle

between the middle side of gel plate. Be careful to put the first gel and keep

balance, then put the second gel on the other side of gel supporter. There are

totally 2 pieces of gel slant from the center (Please refer to the figure 4b).

11 12

c. Note: Be sure to adjust the short glass plate inwardly and then put the gel on

the two sides of gel clamping frame. The gel clamping frame requires 2 pieces

of gels to form the functional module. In case of running odd number of gel (1

piece of gel or 3 pieces of gels), please use single gel plate (Please refer to

figure 4b).

d. Push 2 pieces of gel plates slightly to the center and close to gel band, to

make sure that the short glass plate is under the concaved tank of gel gasket.

e. Compress the gel plate tightly by one hand, while close the gel clamp frame

by another hand and make it in the best position. Or hold the whole unit and

stabilize the gel plate and close gel clamp frame on both two sides in order to

make it be locked in the right position (Please refer to the figure 4c). The gel

clamp frame pushes the gel plate and make the concaved tank of short glass

plate and concaved tank of gel gasket matched together tightly in order to avoid

the leakage of liquid (Be sure the the short glass plate is under the bottom of

concaved tank of gel gasket). Thus, use the buffer to cleanse the sample and

start to add the sample (Please refer to the figure 4b).

Important note: Never try to close the gel clamp frame when the gel plate

is not under the bottom of concaved tank of gel gasket. In order to avoid the

movement of gel plate in the process of being locked, please use single hand

to compress the gel plate on the two sides of gel clamp frame stably and

evenly.

Note: Please do not put mushroom head electrophoresis core in the

electrophoresis cell, otherwise the surplus heat is generated which affects the

result of electrophoresis separation.

Figure 4: Installation of XinPRO electrophoresis module.

2) Sample adding

a. Inject the buffer into the tank, from the outside of outer tank and follow

lower part of glass plate, just flood the short glass plate slightly.

b. Add the sample before or after the electrophoresis core is put in the

electrophoresis cell, both of two methods are available to obtain the satisfied

13 14

result.

c. Add the sample into the hole by syringe and sample adding pipette.

Note: Make the sample fall onto the bottom of hole slowly and evenly. Be sure

not to puncture the bottom.

Note: Anode and cathode should be flooded by the buffer and on the same

level.

3) Put the electrophoresis module in the buffer tank.

Note: The volume requires, 2 pieces of gels with 700ml, 4 pieces of gels with

1000ml.

There are two places of buffer tank for two module: Electrophoresis core is

second and the mushroom head electrophoresis core is first.

a. Put the XinPRO buffer on the smooth desk, make the front side (The side

indicating the words of 2 gels and 4 gels) forward. If the direction is correct,

the red mark of edge of tank should be on the right side and the black left.

b. If running 2 pieces of gels, please use the electrophoresis core with plug. Put

it on the back and make the red (+) corresponding to the red mark on the right

side of tank.

c. If running 4 pieces of gels, please us not only the electrophoresis core with

plug but also the mushroom head electrophoresis core that should put in the

front. Make the red (+) of the two corresponding to the red mark on the right

side of tank. Note: The wrong direction and position will make the upper lid

impossible to be closed.

d. Put the buffer into the tank until reach the marker.

4) XinPRO installation of buffer tank

Put the upper lid on the buffer tank, and make sure the plug and socket match

to obtain the right location, the protruded part of upper lid can help avoid the

error. Note: The two protruded parts of buffer tank should go through the slot

of upper lid in order to make it open and close smoothly. At this time, please

compress the upper lid continuously with thumb until is is done.

5) Power condition

a. Insert the plug into the socket correctly.

b. Power on the XinPRO, the constant voltage is 200V is recommended to

SDS-PAGE and most of native PAGE. 200V voltage can be used to run 2

pieces of gels and 4 pieces of gels. The customer choose the voltage according

to the real situation. SDS-PAGE needs around 35 minutes under the voltage of

200V.

6) Extract gel

a. Power off and take out the plug when the electrophoresis is done.

b. Open the upper lid, take out the electrophoresis core carefully, and remove

the buffer. Please pour out the buffer before open the clamp.

15 16

c. Take out the gel plate.

d. Separate the two glass plates carefully and take out the gel.

e. Put the gel downward and immerse the gel and glass plate in the buffer and

make them separated.

f. Cleanse the XinPRO electrophoresis core and buffer tank by the

ion-removing distilled water.
