Blue BANDit™ is a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional Coomassie® Blue staining procedures. This ready-to-use stain utilizes deionized water for destaining, thereby reducing the handling of hazardous materials and solvent waste in the lab. The easy protocol requires a pre-wash in water for 15 minutes, 1 hour of staining in Blue BANDit™, and a final water wash for 30 minutes. As the bands appear on the gel, the background remains clear, providing excellent visibility of proteins. Provides sufficient material for 50 mini-gels (1 L) or 12 mini-gels (250 mL).
