SDS-PAGE Mercaptoethanol or - (Mar/27/2008 )

Hi

I need to know that which one is better to use in loading dye Mercaptoethanol or DTT during SDS page.

Regards

Either of them is fine.

-spanishflower-

as spanishflower says, either is fine, but...

dtt is stronger than 2-me, there is less odor and you don't need to use as high a concentration. it is also more expensive than 2-me.

we use 2-me.
