2) Prepare the strip holder(s) corresponding to the IPG strip length chosen for the experiment. Handle the ceramic strip holder with care, as they are fragile.
3) Wash strip holder: Rinse each strip holder with ddH2O followed by adding a few drops of Ettan IPGphor Strip Holder Cleaning Solution. Use a toothbrush and vigorous agitation to clean the strip holder. Rinse well with ddH2O. Thoroughly dry the strip holders with lint-free tissue prior to use. 4) Prepare fresh rehydration solution For example: thaw 945uL rehydration stock (stock in the 80C freezer), add 50uL of 1M DTT and 5uL of IPG buffer solution mix well. 5) Prepare the sample and rehydration solution mixture: add appropriate volume of rehydration solution into the sample to make up the total volume indicated in the following table Table 2. Sample and rehydration solution mixture volume per IPG Strip IPG Strip length (cm) 7 11 13 18 24 Total volume per strip (uL) 125 200 250 340 450
For example: a sample is determined to have 5.7 ug/uL total protein. Only 150ug of this protein sample will be run on a 13cm pH 4-7 strip. Therefore, 26.3uL of this sample plus 223.6 uL of rehydration solution will be mixed up to make 250uL of total volume. This sample will be used for SYPRO ruby staining. 6) Distribute the rehydration-sample solution mixture evenly in the strip holders. Be sure to record the boat number with the sample name. 7) Remove the protective cover from the IPG strip starting at the positive (acidic, pointed or arrow) end. Position the IPG strip in the reswelling holder with the gel side down and the positive end of the strip against the sloped end of the slot. 8) Overlay each IPG strip with DryStrip Cover Fluid to minimize evaporation and urea crystallization. This amount is variable (eg. 300-400uL for 7cm and 700800uL for 13cm strips). 9) Run your IPG strip on the Ettan IPGphor II. Align each strip with the strip length markers present on the IPGphors. Put IPG strip positive on IPGphor positive side. Place the internal cover over the ceramic holders and close the lid. Turn on the machine. Use the up and down cursors to select which protocol you need (check the following table for protocols). Use the up and down cursors to select how many strips you will be running (up to 6?). Table 3. Guidelines for Ettan IPGphor with rehydration loading/IEF for Immobiline Dry Strips. Voltage step and hold mode, 50uA/IPG strip, 0.5% IPG buffer, 20C for both rehydration and IEF. Rehydration time 12 hours.

10) Once the program is complete, turn off the power and remove your samples. 11) IPG strips can either be stored in a plastic Petri dish at -80C (gel side facing up) or directly following two equilibration steps for the further SDS-PAGE analysis. 12) The ceramic holders are cleaned with a special cleaning solution made by Amersham (see step 3). The gold plates on the IPGphors are cleaned with water only.
7) Seal the IPG strip in place: Add about 1mL of agarose sealing mixture over the gel strip and filter paper to completely cover them. Allow 10 to 15 minutes to solidify. Tip: If Agarose sealing solution is already made and in a falcon tube, open the tube and place it face down in a glass beaker before putting the solution in the microwave. This will make for an easier (and cleaner) melting process 8) Run the gel: Generally, the higher the voltage, the faster your samples will run through the gel. However, at too high of a voltage melting as well as a pour visual resolution of your gel will occur. For Example: for a 12%, 14cm gel (middle-gel) it typically is run at 200V and 0.3A for 4.5hrs. 9) Stain the gel with Coomassie, Silver or SYPRO Ruby staining to determine protein levels or with ProQ Diamond staining to detect phosphorylated proteins.
