To obtain optimal resolution of proteins, a “stacking” gel is poured over the top of the “resolving” gel. The stacking gel has a lower concentration of acrylamide (larger pore size), lower pH and a different ionic content. This allows the proteins in a lane to be concentrated into a tight band before entering the running or resolving gel and produces a gel with tighter or better separated protein bands.
