Loading buffer

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China, United States

Loading buffer is a solution used in various laboratory techniques, such as gel electrophoresis, to prepare samples for analysis. It is designed to increase the density of the sample, allowing it to sink into the gel matrix during the loading process. The buffer typically contains glycerol or other high-density compounds, as well as dyes that help track the progress of the separation.

Following treatment, H9c2 cells were scraped using a scraper and the protein lysates were extracted using a solubilization buffer (containing RIPA and 1% protease inhibitor). The debris was removed by centrifugation at 12,000 × g for 15 min at 4°C. The protein concentration was determined using a BCA assay kit. The protein samples (80 µg) were added to 5X loading buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) and heated at 95°C for 5 min using metal heating block. Protein samples were separated using 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto a NC membrane, at a constant current of 300 mA for 1 h under wet transfer conditions. The NC membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk at room temperature, and the proteins were incubated with the following antibodies overnight at 4°C: NKA (1:200), c-Src (1:200), p-Src (1:1,000), Erk1/2 (1:1,000), p-Erk1/2 (1:1,000), Bax (1:500), Bcl-2 (1:500), caspase-3 (1:500), cleaved-caspase-3 (1:500) and GAPDH (1:1,000).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
