Protein Staining Reagent

1 is a methanol- and acetic acid-free one-component ready-to-use solution for staining proteins. After polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis, 1 can be used for protein staining by soaking the gel in 1.

Direction for Use :
1.　After gelelectrophoresis, wash the gel with deionized water for 5 minutes three times.
2.　Remove the water, add 1 till the gel is soaked and shake the gel gently for 1 hour at room temperature.
3.　Remove 1 and destain the gel with deionized water for 1 hour. If high background staining is observed, destain the gel with deionized water overnight at room temperature.
