title: A paper-based electroelution system for protein recovery from stained sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels.
abstract: Electroelution is a widely used methodology for protein purification. In this study, a practical and low-cost system for protein electroelution from stained polyacrylamide gels was developed. For this, a horizontal protein electroelution cuve was constructed with glass plates, 1.5-ml capacity microcentrifuge tubes, and dialysis membrane. Analyses of the system efficiency showed high protein recovery from nonfixed and fixed sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gels.
