Description
General description
EZFluor™ UV 1-step Fluorescent Protein Gel Stain is a ready-to-use luminescent protein gel stain designed for imaging using a UV transilluminator. The EZFluor UV protein stain requires only a single 5-30 minute staining step without fixation. Destaining is optional. Moreover, the EZFluor UV protein stain offers safer handling and ease of disposal, because it is an aqueous-based solution that does not contain hazardous methanol or acetic acid. The EZFluor UV protein stain (after pH neutralization) passed environmental toxicity testing and is classified as non-hazardous to the environment under CCR Title 22 regulations.
EZFluor UV 1-step Fluorescent Protein Gel Stain can detect as little as 1-10 ng of protein per band depending on the staining method used. The results obtained with EZFluor UV protein stain are comparable to those with Oriole Fluorescent Gel Stain; however, the EZFluor UV protein stain has a more convenient protocol, does not contain hazardous solvents, and does not cause gel shrinkage. Staining is fully compatible with mass spectrometry and Edman-based sequencing.
