I routinely use the "standard" Laemmli 3X buffer. I think it does a better job reducing samples because of the higher pH.
You can use any of the the common Laemmli-like buffers.
 
<b>Stock reagents</b>
 
Make separate 200 mM Tris-Cl, pH 6.8
 
Make separate 50% glycerol
 
Make separate 10% SDS
 
Make separate 0.1% bromophenol blue (may look a bit orange because of low pH, that's OK)
 
Aliquot some 2-mercaptoethanol into a microfuge tube, keep on-hand (100% is ~14.3 M).
 
Mix the ingredients to some preferred "X", 2X is common:
 
<b>2X</b>
 
100 mM Tris-Cl, pH 6.8
 
20% glycerol
 
2% SDS
 
0.01% bromophenol blue
 
store this concentrate and add 2-mercaptoethanol to 5% (~700 mM) to an aliquot within a few days of use.
 
 
Commercial 2X - 4X versions are found with different formulations, but most have the low pH Tris ranging from ~32 to 70 mM in the 1X, which provides Cl to aid in the stacking event.
 
The Laemmli original 1X is (Laemmli, 1970):
 
62.5 mM Tris-Cl, pH 6.8
 
2% SDS
 
10% glycerol
 
0.0006% bromophenol blue
 
5% 2-mercaptoethanol
