Lumitein™ is a luminescent dye designed for detecting proteins in SDS polyacrylamide (SDS-PAGE) gels, but that can also be used to detect proteins in native PAGE gels after an additional SDS incubation step. The stain combines excellent sensitivity, exceptional user-friendliness and compatibility.
Lumitein™ protein gel stain is supplied as a highly concentrated 100X solution, which provides convenience for shipping, handling and storage. More importantly, the concentrated solution is economical because of reduced manufacturing and shipping costs.
Highly Sensitive: At least as sensitive as silver stain by detecting as little as 1 ng or less protein; detecting more spots than SYPRO® Ruby in 2-D gel staining.
Simple & Fast Staining: Fixation and staining is a single combined step. Use the 30-min Rapid Protocol for excellent results, or the 90-min Basic Protocol for the ultimate sensitivity in 1-D gel staining; no overstaining with longer staining time.
Instrument Compatibility: Can be detected with a UV transilluminator (designed for DNA gel viewing), Dark Reader®, or fluorescence laser scanner.
Wide Linear Detection Range: At least three orders of magnitude.
Compatible with Downstream Analysis: Compatible with LC-MS/MS and sequencing.
Economical: Supplied as a 100X concentrated solution to reduce manufacturing cost and shipping cost, resulting in significant saving for customers.
Stable: Both the 100X concentrated solution and the 1X working solution are stable at room temperature for at least 1 year.
