GelCode™ Blue Stain Reagent

GelCode blue stain reagent is a ready-to-use protein stain based on colloidal coomassie dye G-250 that provides nanogram-level detection in polyacrylamide gels and for in-blot detection.

• No methanol-acetic acid destaining required
• Fast, one-step, one-hour staining ready-to-use stain reagent; band development is visible directly in the staining tray; no background from overnight staining; flexible fixing and washing protocol; no gel shrinkage; stained gel can be dried
• Water wash increases staining sensitivity optional step provides crystal-clear gel background and makes weakly stained bands more visible

This unique GelCode blue stain reagent stains only protein and allows bands to be viewed directly in the gel during the one hour gel staining process. Because the destaining step does not fix the protein, GelCode blue stain is compatible with mass spectrometry analysis and N-terminal sequence analysis.

Detection location: In-blot detection, in-gel detection
Detection method: Colorimetric
Label or dye: Coomassie
Target molecule: Protein

Store at 4 °C.

Ordering information: The 6xhis protein tag staining kit (PIER24575) and phosphoprotein staining kit (PIER24550) come with the appropriate reagent and control sets, which can be purchased separately.

Caution: For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
