Abstract:
A device is described which enables to convert a spectrophotometer in a high performance densitometer. Test samples for the evaluation of densitometric characteristics are presented. The estimations can be carried out in the UV-visible range without applying the common staining procedure, on either cylindrical or plane gel plates in absorption or fluorescence. Polyacrylamide gel migrated commercial protein mixtures as well as A(H1N1) influenza virus and Sendai virus polypeptides were used as biological samples.

DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
In cloning experiments, both the insert and vector DNA...
SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
The first dimension separation uses the isoelectric focusing or IEF technique performed on immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips that separate proteins according to their isoelectric points.
