SimplyBlue SafeStain es una tinción Coomassie G-250 lista para usar, rápida, sensible y segura para visualizar las bandas de proteínas en geles de poliacrilamida y en membranas de PVDF secas. Es totalmente inocua y no requiere decolorantes ni fijadores de metanol ni ácido acético. El riesgo a una exposición peligrosa y los olores desagradables se han eliminado y se crea un entorno más saludable en el laboratorio.

Protocolo fácil de usar
El protocolo de SimplyBlue SafeStain es fácil de seguir y puede finalizarse en menos de tres horas. Para mayor velocidad, un simple procedimiento de microondas se puede finalizar en 12 minutos. La decoloración no es necesaria, pero puede realizarse con agua desionizada para lograr la máxima sensibilidad, especialmente al realizar análisis posteriores, como la espectrometría de masas o cuando se requiere un fondo transparente.
Para uso exclusivo en investigación. No apto para uso en procedimientos diagnósticos.

Preguntas frecuentes

Can I use the Colloidal Blue Staining Kit (Cat. No. LC6025) for membrane staining to detect proteins that are transferred to a membrane?

It is not recommended because the background will be too high. Better alternatives include: 1) Invitrogen Reversible Membrane Protein Stain Kit (Cat. No. IB7710).

2) Coomassie (non-colloidal) staining: stain in 0.1% Coomassie Blue R-250 in 50% methanol for 5 min and destain with several changes of 50% methanol and 10% acetic acid. Rinse with several changes of water, air dry and store for up to 12 months at -20°C. Sensitivity is approximately at the 50-100 ng level.

3) Use SimplyBlue SafeStain (Cat. No. LC6060). The SimplyBlue SafeStain manual has the protocol for staining PVDF membranes, but it is not recommended for nitrocellulose because of high background.

4) Amido Black: same as Coomassie but less sensitive.

5) Ponceau S: same as Coomassie but less sensitive.

6) UV transillumination: place membrane on filter paper after blot is finished and allow to dry at room temperature for about 10 min. Rewet in 20% methanol and view the blot in front of white light while it is still wet; the bands will look more translucent than the membrane. If the bands disappear as the membranes dries, rewet again.

Why is Coomassie G-250 used as the tracking dye in NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer instead of bromophenol blue?

Coomassie G-250 will give a sharp dye front with both NuPAGE MES and MOPS Running Buffers and is therefore used as the tracking dye in the NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer.

Bromophenol blue runs more slowly than some peptides with the NuPAGE MES Running Buffer system.

Coomassie G-250 migrates much closer to the moving ion front than bromophenol blue, ensuring that small peptides will not be run too far (e.g., off the gel).

Is the SimplyBlue SafeStain the appropriate stain for quantitation by densitometry?

The Colloidal Blue Staining Kit (Cat. No. LC6025) is best for quantitation by densitometry. You can also use SimplyBlue SafeStain for this application.

The great advantage of SimplyBlue SafeStain is that it is very easy to use and safe.

The sensitivity of my SimplyBlue SafeStain seems to be decreasing over time. Why is this?

Check the cap on the bottle. If the bottles are not tightly sealed, the alcohol can evaporate from the stain causing substantial decrease in stain sensitivity.

How do I destain proteins on a PVDF membrane that were stained with SimplyBlue SafeStain?

After staining with SimplyBlue SafeStain, use deionized water for the less strongly retained protein bands on the PVDF membrane.

Increasing methanol or ethanol concentrations up to 70% should destain any remaining bands. You can leave the membrane in the destain indefinitely.
