What is the advantage of running a discontinuous protein gel rather than a continuous gel?

Posted September 19, 2022


Answer

Running a discontinuous protein gel provides a higher resolution and better band definition than a continuous gel. A discontinuous protein gel also allows relatively larger volumes of dilute protein samples to be applied to the gel.
