PAGE stands for Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis and describes an analytical method in biochemistry for the separation of differently sized protein mixtures in an electric field. During PAGE, proteins migrate through a gel matrix in response to an applied electric field. Smaller proteins travel faster through the gel than larger proteins, leading to a size dependent separation. The most popular form of PAGE is SDS-PAGE. The detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is added for PAGE sample preparation and is also part of the buffer composition. The treatment with the harsh detergent leads to full protein denaturation and unfolding. SDS binds to hydrophobic parts of the unfolded protein and masks the intrinsic charge of the protein with its own negative charge. As a consequence, SDS-protein complexes migration is predominantly dependent on the size of the protein, allowing an estimation of its molecular weight. The FastGene® PAGE Protein System contains all the necessary equipment you need for PAGE protein analysis. The electrophoresis tank can hold a maximum of 4 gels simultaneously for electrophoretic protein separation.
