Detergent removal using the ReadyPrep 2-D cleanup kit.
E. coli extracts containing 1% SDS were electrophoresed before and after treatment with the 2-D cleanup kit.
The samples were focused using 11 cm ReadyStrip pH 310 IPG strips, then run on Criterion 816% Tris-HCl
precast gels for the second dimension.
Ionic contaminants such as detergents, lipids, and phenolic compounds interfere with 2-D resolution and reproducibility.
