Swift Membrane Stain™ is a unique, proprietary (patents pending), reversible, ready-to-use membrane stain for proteins on nitrocellulose or PVDF membranes. Swift Membrane Stain™ stains proteins as swift as the routinely used Ponceau-S stain, but is a more sensitive and stronger stain allowing for greater protein detection and simpler image capture. The lower detection limit of Swift Membrane Stain™ is ~0.5ng protein (BSA)/band on nitrocellulose membrane.
Another advantage of Swift Membrane Stain™ is that the stain can be complete removed from the membrane in approximately 10 minutes without affecting the biological or immunological properties of the immobilized proteins. This offers an advantage over Coomassie based stains as these are irreversible and can interfere with Western blotting.
Suitable for 20 membranes (8x8cm).
