<strong>Gel</strong> <strong>Protein</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> ® (GPR)<br />

<strong>Protea</strong>’s <strong>Gel</strong> <strong>Protein</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> System (GPR) is an advanced,<br />

microfluidics-based system for the rapid and efficient extraction<br />

of proteins from polyacrylamide gels.<br />

The GPR-800 system uses a proprietary plastic microfluidic<br />

chip in a high voltage environment, to allow fast electroelutions<br />

simultaneously in eight parallel microchannels. The GPR<br />

Electroelution Buffers contains a proprietary mass spec friendly<br />

surfactant that allows for easy degradation and clean-up prior to<br />

mass spectrometry. <strong>Protea</strong>’s GPR-800 is a closed system with<br />

minimal dead volume, assuring no introduction of contaminants.<br />

FEATURES:<br />

Advanced Microfluidic Chip Design – Allows for<br />

efficient extraction of proteins down to 100 ng. Intact mass<br />

measurements are routinely achieved from coomassie stained<br />

gels. Limited surface area greatly improves recovery rate.<br />

Eight Channel Parallel Processing – 8 gel bands can be<br />

processed simultaneously in less than 20 minutes. More than 100<br />

proteins can be recovered in a standard work day.<br />

Proprietary Decoupled <strong>Protein</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> – Allows<br />

for easy and efficient collection of protein samples for post<br />

electroelution clean-up.<br />

System and Reagents Designed for Mass<br />

Spectrometry – <strong>Protein</strong>s can be mass spectrometry ready<br />

without extensive clean-up.<br />

Closed System and Disposable Chips – No worries about<br />

contamination or carry over. Use a new, clean chip for each<br />

recovery.<br />

RESEARCH APPLICATIONS:<br />

Top-Down Proteomics – Provides the ability to combine the<br />

resolution and quantitation of 2D electrophoresis with top-down<br />

proteomics using state of the art mass spectrometry techniques.<br />

Intact Mass Measurement – Quickly confirm protein mass<br />

from 1D and 2D gels using mass spectrometry.<br />

Determine Modification State of <strong>Protein</strong>s – Use the<br />

resolving power of 2D electrophoresis to resolve isoforms,<br />

degradation products, and modifications states. Quickly recover<br />

separated species for mass spectrometry analysis.<br />

Recover and Store – <strong>Protein</strong>s can rapidly be recovered from<br />

1D or 2D gels and stored for later experimentation.<br />

Effective Range of the GPR<br />

The plot shows the amount of protein needed (in gel) as<br />

a function of molecular weight for successful usage of<br />

the GPR-800. In general, higher protein loads and lower<br />

molecular weight proteins yield the best results. The blue<br />

shaded area represents the range of protein gel loads where<br />

it is routine to obtain an intact mass measurement after<br />

protein recovery. The area shaded in green represents the<br />

range where it is routine to successfully identify a recovered<br />

protein after digestion using the GPR-800. It should be<br />

noted these areas represent areas of routine success. In<br />

many cases the ranges can be extended. For example we<br />

can, in many cases, show intact mass measurements for<br />

small proteins with loads down to 100 ng. In addition, we<br />

have successfully performed post electroelution digestion on<br />

many larger proteins (75 kDa) down to 250 ng.<br />

The GPR-800 was used to recover<br />

protein isoforms of myoglobin that<br />

were separated by 2-dimensional<br />

gel electrophoresis. Intact mass<br />

measurements showed that each<br />

resolved spot had statistically<br />

different masses. This approach<br />

allows researchers to easily<br />

quantitate and separate protein<br />

isoforms using gel electrophoresis<br />

followed by the rapid and efficient<br />

recovery of the intact molecules<br />

from the gel. Top down mass<br />

spectrometric techniques can then<br />

be used to determine intact mass<br />

and sequence information for each<br />

protein isoform.<br />

<strong>Protea</strong><strong>Gel</strong>s 5%, 10%, 12% and 15% Solutions<br />

<strong>Protea</strong><strong>Gel</strong>s “ready-to-run” SDS polyacrylamide solutions<br />

polymerize into an advanced molecular sieve for the<br />

electrophoretic separation of proteins. Because of the advanced<br />

buffer chemistry used in the gel matrix solution, <strong>Protea</strong><strong>Gel</strong>s allow<br />

a single separating gel. A stacking gel is not required, as the<br />

<strong>Protea</strong><strong>Gel</strong> proprietary formulation inherently stacks the protein<br />

samples during the normal electrophoresis run. However, for the<br />

highest resolution a stacking gel usng 5% <strong>Protea</strong><strong>Gel</strong> solution can<br />

be used. Band resolution is unparalleled over a molecular range<br />

of 2.5 to 250 kDa. The new hybrid formulation of <strong>Protea</strong><strong>Gel</strong>s<br />

gives these gels an increased gel strength, which allows for<br />

easier handling. <strong>Protea</strong><strong>Gel</strong>s will work with all types of universal<br />

electrophoresis apparatus. Our gel mixtures are formulated for<br />

optimal performance in mass spectrometry-based proteomics<br />

experiments.<br />

FEATURES:<br />

• High gel strength – allows easier handling<br />

• Ready to use in less than 10 minutes – just add TEMED and<br />

APS to polymerize the gel<br />

• No stacking gel required – permits longer gel separations<br />

• High resolution gels for protein separation across a broad<br />

molecular weight range<br />

• Stable at room temperature for 1 year<br />

• Each batch tested for MS compatibility – Certified MS Grade<br />

SuperBlue G250 and R250 Coomassie Stains<br />

<strong>Protea</strong>’s SuperBlue Coomassie stains are an excellent choice for<br />

visualizing proteins separated by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis.<br />

Our SuperBlue G250 stain is a colloidal Coomassie formulation<br />

with a sensitivity of ~20-40 ng protein. As a colloidal stain, the<br />

SuperBlue G250 reacts only with proteins and not the gel itself,<br />

resulting in a reduced background staining that permits rapid<br />

visualization of the gel bands. <strong>Protea</strong>’s SuperBlue R250 stain<br />

is a traditional Coomassie stain, with a sensitivity of ~20-40 ng.<br />

Because Coomassie stains interact stoichiometrically with protein<br />

in gels, they are useful for quantitation by densitometry. The<br />

SuperBlue G250 stain is available as a ready-to-use formulation,<br />

while the SuperBlue R250 stain is provided as a 10X concentrate<br />

solution.<br />

FEATURES:<br />

• Sensitive – as low as 20 - 40 ng/band<br />

• Non-fixative and fixative protocols available<br />

• Useful for quantitation by densitometry<br />

RESEARCH APPLICATIONS:<br />

• Staining 1D and 2D SDS-PAGE gels<br />

• <strong>Protein</strong> studies requiring non-fixative gel staining<br />

• Densitometry studies for protein quantitation in SDS-PAGE<br />

gels<br />

Silver Stain Kit<br />

Silver staining of proteins is a useful technique for the detection<br />

of minor protein components that are difficult to visualize by<br />

standard Coomassie blue stains. Silver stains are 50 to 100-fold<br />

more sensitive than Coomassie and thus capable of detecting<br />

nanogram quantities (~2 ng) of protein on gels in comparison to<br />

Coomassie stains (20 - 40 ng).<br />

The <strong>Protea</strong> Silver Stain formulation is unique in that the staining<br />

process can be completed in about 35 minutes (including the 15<br />

min. fixing step) without sacrificing the sensitivity of detection. In<br />

addition, the silver stain kit is compatible with MALDI analysis,<br />

especially when used in conjunction with our silver destaining<br />

reagent.<br />

FEATURES:<br />

• 35 minutes from fixation to visualization of protein bands<br />

• Stable at room temperature for up to 6 months<br />

• Sensitivity (1-2 ng) is 50 to 100x greater than that of<br />

Coomassie stain<br />

• Mass Spec tested and fully compatible (after silver<br />

destaining step)<br />

• Certified Mass Spec Grade<br />

RESEARCH APPLICATIONS:<br />

• Biomarker discovery<br />

• <strong>Protein</strong> identification and characterization<br />

Silver Destaining Solution<br />

Silver Staining is a very powerful technique to detect<br />

small amounts protein after one- or two-dimensional gel<br />

electrophoresis. Unfortunately, the silver deposits on the protein<br />

tend to interfere with mass spectrometry analysis, and thus its<br />

precise identification. <strong>Protea</strong>’s Silver Destaining Solution is readyto-use<br />

and removes most if not all of the silver from proteins and<br />

permits mass spectrometry analysis.<br />

Zinc Stain<br />

ZincPlus Stain Kits reagents are used to stain one- or twodimensional<br />

gels following SDS-PAGE. The ZincPlus Stain is a<br />

negative stain, which produces a whitish opaque background in<br />

the gel, while the protein bands themselves remain unstained.<br />

The inherent benefit of a negative stain is that the protein band<br />

does not contain any dye or stain to present as a contaminant for<br />

downstream sample processing and analysis. ZincPlus Stain Kit is<br />

a fast and reversible method for visualizing proteins separated on<br />

polyacrylamide gels. The ZincPlus Stain has a detection limit of ~1<br />

ng of protein, and the entire staining process is completed within<br />

15 minutes. Unlike most stains, ZincPlus Stain does not require a<br />

fixation step, which leaves the proteins unaffected for downstream<br />

processing.<br />

FEATURES:<br />

• Negative stain: no dye or stain contaminating the protein bands<br />

• Fast staining technique:


TriColor Pre-stained <strong>Protein</strong> Molecular Weight Markers<br />

<strong>Protea</strong>’s Blue and TriColor Pre-stained <strong>Protein</strong> Molecular Weight<br />

Markers are designed for use with SDS-PAGE gels. They cover<br />

a wide range of molecular weights from 7 to 175 kDa. Blue<br />

Pre-stained <strong>Protein</strong> Molecular Weight Markers are comprised<br />

of 8 proteins covalently coupled to a blue dye, allowing easy<br />

visualization during electrophoresis. TriColor Pre-stained <strong>Protein</strong><br />

Molecular Weight Markers are comprised of 8 proteins covalently<br />

coupled to a colored dye, including one orange and one green<br />

band, allowing easy visualization during electrophoresis with<br />

two main reference points. By covalently coupling the dye to the<br />

protein, the electrophoretic behavior of proteins is influenced.<br />

Due to this behavior change of pre-stained proteins, <strong>Protea</strong>’s<br />

<strong>Protein</strong> Molecular Weight Marker (MM-101-1) should be used<br />

when specific molecular weight determination is desired.<br />

FEATURES:<br />

• Reproducible markers<br />

• Wide MW range from 7 to 175 kDa<br />

• Real-time visualization of separation during electrophoresis<br />

RESEARCH APPLICATIONS:<br />

• SDS-PAGE separation of protein samples<br />

• 1D and 2D gel electrophoresis<br />

• Western blotting<br />

iPAGE 300V Power Supply<br />

The iPAGE 300V Power Supply can run up to 4 gel boxes at a<br />

time with electrophoresis voltages of 0 to 300 V (0 to 500 mA<br />

current and 90 watt total power output rating). This versatile<br />

power supply can be operated in either constant voltage or<br />

constant current modes, and can be used for protein, DNA, and<br />

RNA electrophoresis experiments. The digital LCD display clearly<br />

shows the applied voltage and can be toggled to display current.<br />

The iPAGE 300V Power Supply also features a timer function<br />

that can be used to prevent running samples off of the bottom of<br />

the gel. At the end of the programmed run time, the power supply<br />

shuts off to protect sample integrity. The iPAGE 300V Power<br />

Supplies are compact in design with a small footprint and are<br />

stackable to save space.<br />

FEATURES:<br />

• Versatile power supply available with timer function for<br />

running up to four protein, DNA, or RNA gels<br />
