Notes:
General notes:
Reagents stored at different temperatures.
Usage notes:
Prepare fresh 3X Reducing Red Loading Buffer by adding 1/10 volume 30X Reducing Agent to 1 volume of 3X Red Loading Buffer.
Prepare samples by adding 2 volumes of Sample to 1 volume 3X Reducing Red Loading Buffer (from step 1).
Heat samples to 95-100°C for 3-5 minutes.
After a quick microcentrifuge spin, load directly on to a gel. To ensure uniform mobiity, load an equal volume of 1X Reducing Blue Loading Buffer into any unused wells.
