Re: [DIYbio] Re: Paper electrophoresis... super available molecule separation?

Interesting..  thats like running ampholytes before loading samples on a pH gradient gel..  only disadv is buffer wastage.. 

using proteases is not cost effective, also the proteases cannot get to the proteins because of the crystalline packing of cellulose.. 
how bout exploting the fact that cellulose can take high temps.. then we could ppt proteins out o it maybe.. but it could also clog the pores in the fiber..
gonna lookup bac cellulose processing, although i have a feeling most o it must be under wraps due to patenting :(

Pre-run the electrophoresis maybe
