Description
Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 (CBB) is widely used for visualizing proteins after electrophoresis. The procedure normally involves lengthy fixing, staining, and destaining steps. Moreover, it requires glacial acetic acid and methanol, which must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Xpert Safe Protein Stain consists of a colloid solution of CBB G-250 that is non-toxic and non-hazardous. The procedure does not require a fixing step and washing can be carried out using water, making in-gel staining both safer and less expensive.
