Electrophoresis Stains
Ready-to-use electrophoresis buffers, gels, and powder stains quickly sort sample molecules based on size and charge. These reagents generate less background fluorescence that can negatively impact visual studies. To achieve the necessary chemical reaction, select the type of stain based on environmental conditions and experiment goals. From commonly used Coomassie Brilliant Blue to the specific cancer researching Papanicolaou, sensitive electrophoresis stains detect and make cell components visible for further DNA and RNA analyses.

VWR®, Loading dye base
Supplier: VWR Chemicals
This loading dye base is used for custom loading buffer preparation. It is a concentrated solution containing patent blue, bromophenol blue and amaranth tracking dyes, which migrate at approximately 4 000, 400 and 10 bp, on a 1% agarose gel, respectively.

VWR®, Nucleic acid loading dyes
Supplier: VWR Chemicals
Designed to optimise loading nucleic acids in agarose gels, the loading dye imparts colour to the sample to facilitate the loading process and increase the density of the sample to ensure efficient sample distribution into each well. The dye migrates independently from the sample, allowing estimation of the migration of nucleic acids.

BLOT-FastStain™
Supplier: G-Biosciences
BLOT-FastStain™ is a unique stain for reversible staining of protein on nitrocellulose and PVDF transfer membranes. It only stains protein and leaves the background absolutely untouched and brilliant white resulting in high band visibility.

Glycoprotein stain
Supplier: G-Biosciences
The stain uses an enhanced Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) method for detection of glycoprotein sugars. The supplied agent first oxidises the cis-diol sugar groups to aldehydes. The aldehyde groups react with the sensitive glycoprotein stain solution forming Schiff bonds and producing strong magenta colour bands. RAPIDstain™ can be used after glycoprotein staining to detect non-glycosylated proteins and the use of the stain enhances glycoprotein staining. The glycoprotein stainis highly convenient as all the key reagents required for staining are supplied and a unique positive & negative control is included.

Silver stain, FOCUS™ FASTsilver™
Supplier: G-Biosciences
FOCUS™ FASTsilver™ produces crystal clear backgrounds and maximal peptide recovery needed for critical analysis by mass spectrometry. Complete proteolytic digestion and recovery of peptides is required for optimal analysis, however silver ions in traditional silver staining kits inhibit proteolytic digestion. In addition, glutaraldehyde, a common sensitiser in silver stains, modifies peptide lysine residues preventing complete digestion and recovery.
