Biotinylated SDS-PAGE
Standards, Low , High,
and Broad Range
Bio-Rad’s Biotinylated SDS-PAGE Standards are
a mixture of biotinylated proteins that can be used for
accurate molecular weight determinations of immune
detected proteins. The standards have been blended to
give equal intensities when detected with avidin-HRP
and HRP Color Development Reagent.
The Biotinylated SDS-PAGE Standards and the
sample proteins are run on an SDS polyacrylamide gel
and electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose,
PVDF, or Zeta-Probe®membranes. The protein samples and standards are exposed to the same reagents
during detection. This prevents distortions that may
occur if the standards lane is treated separately.
The molecular weights of the standards are not significantly altered by biotinylation. The consistent
molecular weights of the standards give accurate
molecular weight determinations every time without
increasing the number of steps or length of time of
immune detection.

Protocol
1. When using HRP conjugates, dilute standards
1:4 in sample buffer.*When using AP conjugates,
dilute the standards 1:20 in sample buffer. Heat for
5 minutes at 95 °C. Cool and load 10 µl/well for
mini-gels. Load 10–15 µl/well for full length gels
(16–20 cm).
2. After electrophoretic blotting of the proteins,
detection of the biotinylated standards is performed after the blocking and primary antibody
incubation steps. The avidin conjugates are used in
a 1:3,000 dilution in antibody buffer (1% gelatin in
TTBS†). This solution should contain the appropriate dilution of blotting grade second antibody conjugate, protein A, or protein G conjugate. Incubate
the membrane 1 hour with gentle agitation at room
temperature.
3. Remove the conjugate solution, and wash the
membrane twice for 5 minutes in Tris buffered
saline with 0.05% Tween-20 (TTBS)†with gentle
agitation. Wash twice for 5 minutes in TBS.

4. Prepare the color development solution immediately
before use. Immerse the membrane in the solution.
Stop the development by washing the membrane in
distilled water for 10 minutes. Change the water at
least once during this time.

Sample buffer (SDS-PAGE reducing buffer)
Distilled water 4.0 ml
0.5 M Tris-HCl, pH 6.8 1.0 ml
Glycerol 0.8 ml
10% (w/v) SDS 1.6 ml
β-mercaptoethanol 0.4 ml
0.1% (w/v) Bromophenol blue 0.2 ml
8.0 ml
Note: Addition of a reducing agent such as BME is
important because there is no reducing agent in the
buffer as supplied.
†
Tris buffered saline (TBS)
(20 mM Tris, 500 mM NaCl, pH 7.5)
Tris base 4.84 g
NaCl 58.44 g
Dissolve Tris and NaCl in 1.8 L distilled water. Adjust
the pH to 7.5 with HCl, and adjust the volume to 2 L
with distilled water. For TTBS add 0.5 ml Tween-20 to
1 L of TBS (0.05% Tween-20).
