Protein Gel Stains

We offer a selection of products for protein staining in electrophoresis gels. We have products for silver staining, Coomassie brilliant blue dyes, and reversible zinc stains.

Our selection of electrophoresis gel stains aid in visualizing proteins and vary in sensitivity, staining time and reversibility. LabSafe GEL Blue™ is an enhanced blue staining dye that is based on Coomassie blue dye that offers unsurpassed sensitivity and rapid band visualization and is supplied in a ready-to-use format that is added directly to protein gels following electrophoresis. FOCUS™ FASTsilver™ silver stain produces crystal clear backgrounds and maximal peptide recovery needed for critical analysis by mass spectrometry. It is also fully compatible with mass spectroscopy analysis. RAPIDstain™, an ultra sensitive and ready-to-use protein stain based on Coomassie staining, is also available and requires no mixing or preparation. It is suitable for native, denaturing, isoelectric focusing, and 2D gels and has a quick and easy staining protocol with protein bands developing in 5-10 minutes.
