Silver Staining Kit uses ammoniacal silver chemistry and glutaraldehyde sensitization to produce a highly sensitive silver stain, capable of detecting much lower levels of protein than standard Coomassie or Colloidal Blue techniques. Clear background makes sample identification unambiguous and provides publication-quality gels.
With the advantages of easy and effective operation, Boster's Silver Stain Kit is suitable for the SDS-PAGE or non-denaturing PAGE. It is suitable for staining both single dimension SDS-PAGE gels and two-dimensional (2D) gels of complex protein solutions, and the staining gel will be compatible with subsequent mass spectrometry detection. The sensitivity of silver staining is 100 times as high as that of CBB (Coomassie brilliant blue) staining. The kit can detect 0.25 ng BSA. It is unnecessary to use the toxic methanol.
