A recent application note from the WADA-accredited lab in Dresden describes a method for improved detection of EPO in blood and urine samples based on "Velum SAR gels" -a new type of Sarcosyl precast gels as well as automation of the blotting procedure
aided by ... the Blotcycler !
Velum™ precast gels offer perfect protein separation and a novel experience of convenience in handling. Velum™ gels are film-supported and do not need any glass plates for gel electrophoresis and only a small amount of buffer (included with the kit) is required.
Velum™ gels are ideally suited for Red- and near IR-fluorescence protein imaging (T-Red, T-iRed, T-Rex) with a tenfold better signal to noise ratio compared to other gels.
The most simple blotting method after electrophoresis for
Velum™ gels is the contact blotting with the Beo Dry Blotter
After the electrophoretic procedure the blotting membrane is directly placed on the gel-surface.With the help of dry blotting paper and pressure the proteins are forced to migrate on the membrane.
