| General description: | SYPRO Ruby protein gel stain is a ready-to-use, ultrasensitive, luminescent stain for the detection of proteins separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). This stain, designed especially for use in 2-D PAGE, has proven to be an excellent choice for 1-D PAGE and isoelectric focusing (IEF) gels as well. SYPRO Ruby protein gel stain attains sensitivity comparable to many silver stain techniques. However, unlike silver staining, the SYPRO Ruby gel stain: • uses a simple staining protocol, with no possibility of overstaining • delivers a linear quantitation range of over three orders of magnitude • shows less protein-to-protein variability • stains glycoproteins, lipoproteins, calcium-binding proteins, fibrillar proteins, and other difficult-to-stain proteins • will not stain extraneous nucleic acids • does not interfere with subsequent analysis of proteins by Edman-based sequencing or mass spectrometry |
