Automated scanning of 14C on polyacrylamide gel
Journal of Biochemical and Biophysical Methods
|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
Cylindrical polyacrylamide gels were automatically analyzed for radioactive 14C using a commercially available radiochromatogram scanner. This method was capable of detecting peaks of [14C]protein containing 50 000--1 000 000 cpm. Under optimal conditions, gels could be scanned at a rate of 1 cm per min, allowing for analysis of 20--30 gels per day.

SDS-PAGE
Gel electrophoresis is a method that separates biological macromolecules like nucleic acids or proteins by forcing them to pass through a gel matrix under an electric field.
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
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is a high-resolution protein separation method first introduced by O' Farrell and Klose in 1975. This method involves protein separation by two dimensions, mass and charge, making it more accurate than one-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.
