Stain removal reagents are designed to safely remove stains from microbiological solutions. Certain reagents can be used to recover over-developed or unevenly developed gels, saving the time and frustration of having to reload the sample and run the gel again. These reagents are easy to use and economical. Certain models are available in pre-sealed bags for use with individual treatments, thus minimizing the exposure of research personnel to potentially toxic material.
