Passive and Active Rehydration
Proteins from the rehydration buffer has to be loaded into the strips, such that the
strips take up the proteins into the gel for protein separation during IEF. The
process can be carried out in presence and absence of current

Definitions and Keywords
1. Protein : Proteins are the biomolecules, composed of amino acid, forming the building block of the system
and performs most of the biological functions of the system.
2. IPG strips: Immobilized pH Gradient strips consists of immobilines with that helps in maintaining the pH
2
gradients which is exploited for protein separation.
3. IPG buffer: Buffer consists of immobilines which aid in conductance, maintain the stability of separated
proteins
4. Rehydration buffer: A cocktail of reagents used for sample solubalization and used for sample storage.
a)Dithiothreitol: Constituent of rehydration buffer used to reduce the disulfide bonds in the protein.
3
b)CHAPS: is a zwitter-ionic detergent, constituent of rehydration buffer that is used to solubilize the proteins
including membrane proteins.
c) Urea: It is a organic compound in rehydration buffer that is used to denature protein.
d)Bromophenol blue: Used in rehydration as color marker and acid –base indicator
5. Cover fluid: Cover fluid prevent evaporation of the sample.

6. IPGphor IEF instrument: The instrument used for the first dimension separation. It consists of electrodes
with positive and negative terminal with the protocol setting options that can aid in user friendly usage.
7. Passive rehydration: the process of letting the IPG strip to swell with protein sample kept at longer time
without applying current.

8. Active rehydration: the process of letting the IPG strip to swell with protein sample kept at defined time with
applying current.

single electrode manifold unit in case of
single strip or strip loaded into manifold
directly if many strips are there. Unlike using
of rehydration tray like in passive rehydration,
for active rehydration manifold is used. The
amount of cover strip oil laid is saved. The
wicks are also saved.

Summary
The experiment involves the sample preparation, loading the sample in strip
and overnight incubation. Enough time must be given for the protein to diffuse
into the strips and occupy the gel in the strips. The strips will be swollen after
rehydration and looks blue as the rehydration enter the strips along with the
proteins. Care should be taken to prevent the bubble formation between the
strip and the sample. Avoid crystal formation and evaporation by covering the
strip with cover fluid
