How to Stain an SDS-PAGE gel
zhlédnutí 168KPřed 13 lety
Your gel just finished running what do you do next? In this video, Dan shows you how to disassemble your SDS-PAGE gel, and how to stain it using either PageBlue, Coomassie, or Silver Staining. Coomassie is the older method of staining, and gives bright blue bands on the gel. PageBlue is similar, but provides a quicker alternative. If you have faint bands and require a more sensitive method, you...
How to Make a Beta-Barrel Jack-O-Lantern

This is what happens when you give grad students a pumpkin: you get one nerdy jack-o-lantern. If you are not familiar with protein structure, this pumpkin has been carved to look like a beta-barrel protein. These proteins are usually found in cell membranes or in the membranes of organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Their structure gives them unique functions, and many beta-barrel ...

Gel Extraction Comb Trick
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 14 lety
In this video, Dan shows you a very simple and useful trick that you can use during your gel extraction/purification protocol. If you have lots of sample to load on the gel, and not a big enough well, you have to load into multiple wells. This means that you will have to cut out multiple bands, and still be careful to remove all the excess agarose. A better approach is to use a comb that will m...

In this video, Dan shows you how to transform DNA into competent cells. Notes: -the DNA being transformed can be either purified plasmid, or your ligation product -the amount of plasmid you add will depend on its concentration -the media that you use may be different (here Dan uses LB) Remember to keep the competent cells on ice, and don't vortex or pipette up and down when you add the DNA.

Nice
Hi pc pc p0
But how can you sterilize the parafilm?
it is helpfull
Very clear video
My teacher used your video as an instruction video, be proud
Why you adjust the pH to 8.8?
How do you clean the fritted glass after use?
Hi! I am wondering the same thing and was curious if you figured it out- I am wondering how exactly to clean the white part on the base/stopper? Seems like that could lead to contamination unless using the same buffer
This process needs practice more and more😮
You can add a little amount of resolving gel with higher percentage of TEMED to prevent leaky and after the thin layer of the bottom becom solid , you can add standard resolving gel
Can anyone here educate me how to prepare prf( protein rich fibrin) to use in infected wounds as I m working at periphery n not much facilities r available here , we try to heal n help patients on our own within our resources... I ve got a centrifuge old machine China made 800 centrifuge wth rpm:4000.n rcf:1790×g.capacity 20cc×5. I also wanna know test tube's length its material n time to spin to retrieve max benefit from my produce.though I have general info frm watching diff u tube video but wanna get know frm experts as reading comments here I noticed that quite an experts in centrifuge technique are commenting here. I wd really appreciate if anyone is to extend his knowledge to where it's really needed n be used productively.. Thanks in anticipation n prayers!
Thanks. Just what I was looking for. Don’t hold the Petri dish too tightly, they crack easily.
If the filter base stuck, how to remove it?
I love how early 2000's this video feels
Thanks for the nice video. Lately sometime I fail to make perfect well, and I realize it when I load my sample it won’t go through coz there are this sheet of the gel between the well. Might anyone have a suggestion? Many thanks
I do not see a sterile process ! The tape is already contaminated with ambient contaminants, So how to apply perfectly sterile ? Perfectly sterile. because the tape is not sterile as we can see. I need an idea!
You have a very good video. 2 things that would set you apart from others...1. list the glassware and tell where we can purchase. 2. Answer peoples questions. Those who ignore simple questions are only in it for themselves and I will not give any likes or watch any more of a persons work if they are so selfish.
Thanks mate ❤️
thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you for stopping my tears 😩
I had tried to filter the buffer through the same glass assembly, but I was facing a leakage problem from the filter base and funnel. I had tried so much to fix it but couldn't do so. Is there any technique to assemble the funnel and base with a clamp? Can you please help me out?
Thanks
Hi cations and anions, While loading my samples, the samples did not enter into the well but floated... Can you help me troubleshoot this? Thanks
Hi, I just came across this channel and The Lab channel. You guys are doing a fantastic and amazing job. However, what happened? Where have you been? It's been 10 years.

Thank you so much. I wasted so much parafilm, i thought you would need a big piece xD

How much is centrifuge
I saw my gel getting shrunk after staining & destaining (CBB). Staining- 10 mins- generally I stain it for 10 mins & destaining-30 mins.
I have been staining & destaining for 10 mins and add water & leave it overnight. Bands always were visible clearly.
Hi. I hv 2 questions. Why add isopropanol to removes bubbles and why is there stacking and resolving gel ?
Hello, I hope you're still active on this channel... Would there be an issue if you use 10X running buffer instead of 1X? Also, I noticed you had a very thin pipette tip that seemed to allow you to insert the sample past the short window and access very close to the bottom of the well. I was using a regular tip and found I couldnt get past the short window so I had to gently release the sample from the point of the short window. It appeared that the dyed sample 'fell' down into the well ok but I'm wondering if the sample may have dispersed more than I could see and could have contaminated other wells? Thanks for the video!
you should use 1x buffer from my personal experience, a regular tip (those for 2-20µLand 20-200µL) is enough to get into the gel well and that should be enough to prevent any contamination between the samples across the wells. Try to let the short glass plate facing you and tilt the pipette towards you a little bit. Though i am not sure about the plate thickness and the comb you are using. Being unable to touch the end of the gel well also prevents you from injecting the sample into the gel. XD
in the video they are using special gel tips which are thinner. commercially available
What does the gel look like in the end??

Thank you for such informative video
thanks for the video...it's really useful for me

But I only have one pH meter that needs to be calibrated...
It's chemical transformation
