In Topic: No resolving of protein/bands below 50kDa :-s

if the standards ran well then it is most likely not something with the gel or buffer. it is most likely something with the sample. since all of the samples are running similarly then it is likely due to the buffer that the sample is in or the sample loading (laemmli) buffer. is the sample buffer old? the sds may be decomposing.

try making a fresh sample loading buffer (use a different lot of sds).

My problem was fixed by making fresh sample buffer. Thank you.

I too am having similar problems. After Ponceau Staining I do not see stong bands below 50kDa. My molecular weight markers look fine. So I thought it was transfer issue but when I Coomassie stained my 12 Gel prior to transfer I did not see stong bands below 50kDa. Still my markers look fine. So I am currently thinking it my be the electrophoresis rig problem or gel polymerization problem. I will update.

problem solved! it was the damn antibodies.
I have sent the same image to the antibody company.
Hopefully they will offer a new vial of antibodies free of charge.
Thank you everybody though for you help.

before taking images, try to wipe out ECL liquid.

Have you tried to take image one by one per membrane? sometimes, some image which was very light signal could increase background of the membrane which very strong signal. For some reson, the camera try to compensate the signal and try to make all the images to be the most clear.

I have not tried to wipe out the ECL liquid. Before I expose to film I let the extra ECL to drip down on paper towel. Also I have tried a different lab's ECL so I don't think it's the ECL. The image I have uploaded is the exposed film scanned to the computer. I do not use a camera to take the image directly from the membrane with ECL.
