Sample preparation:
1. Inoculate the colonies into 10 mL of YNB ura- medium containing 2% galactose.
2. Incubate at 30 ºC for overnight.
3. Centrifuge the culture at 5000g for 5 minutes at room temperature.
4. Resuspend the pellets using 20 μL of dH2O.
5. Transfer into 2 mL microcentrifuge tubes.
6. Add 40 µL of sample buffer (becomes 2X).
7. Vortex for 10s.
8. Heat at 95º C for 5 minutes.
9. Store at -20 ºC until use.
Protocol:
1. Clean the plates and set it on the casting tray and check for the leakage using water.
2. Prepare resolving gel and pour it for three fourth of the plates.

3. Pour dH2O or isopropanol to remove the bubbles and leave it for polymerising.
4. Pour off the water and take out the remining layer of water using tissue.
5. Prepare stacking gel and pour it on the resolving gel.
6. Place the comb and leave it for polymerising.
7. Place the plates into the running module and keep it inside the tank.
8. Add running buffer.
Running buffer preparation: (pH – 8.3)
S. No Reagent / chemical 1 litre
1 25 mM Tris base 3g
2 Glycine 14 g
3 SDS 1g
Add 500 mL of dH2O, dissolve and adjusted the pH to 8.3. Then make upto 1litre
9. Load 10 μL of samples onto the wells.
10. Add 2 μL of protein prestained ladder in a lane.
11. Set the voltage at 80V until the sample migrates upto resolving gel.
12. Increase the voltage to 120V .
1. Take out the gel carefully.
2. Cut the stacking gel and mark one of the ends.
3. Wash the gel in dH2O.
4. Keep the gel in Coomassie brilliant blue staining solution.
