Biological description
Cationic carbocyanine dye used for differential staining of nuclei acids and proteins with RNA staining blue/purple, DNA staining blue, and proteins staining red. Ideal dye for the visualization and identification of proteins on polyacrylamide gels because it differentiates between highly acidic proteins which stain blue and less acidic proteins which stain pink. Staining of Ca2+-binding proteins in muscle extracts was 50 to 100% more intense than obtained with Coomassie blue staining. When employed on polyacrylamide gels, the intensity of Stains-All can be increased by the addition of silver nitrate.

Handling
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
