Supplier:  Edvotek™ 253

Catalog No. S05650

Includes: Instructions, fish LyphoProtein™ samples, protein molecular weight standards, practice gel-loading solution, buffer and Protein InstaStain™

Description

Study the diversity of fish with these prestained, lyophilized proteins.

 

• Students extract and prestain total protein from perch, walleye and salmon using an indicator dye
• After separating each fish protein sample by denaturing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, students find a characteristic banding pattern Pattern can be used to identify the specific species
