Biotium One Step Lumitein Protein Gel Stain
One Step Lumitein Protein Gel Stain is a ready-to-use luminescent protein gel stain. It is a dramatically improved version of Biotium’s original Lumitein™ protein gel stain for convenience and safety.
One-Step Lumitein™ gel staining requires only a single 5-30 minute staining step without fixation. Destaining is optional. Moreover, One-Step Lumitein™ Protein Gel Stain offers safer handling and ease of disposal, because it is an aqueous-based solution that does not contain hazardous methanol or acetic acid.
One-Step Lumitein™ costs significantly less than other fluorescent protein gel stains.
One-Step Lumitein™ can detect as little as approximately 1-10 ng of protein per band depending on the staining method used, although staining intensity varies between proteins. Detect red fluorescence with a UV gel box or laser-based fluorescence scanner. Staining is fully compatible with mass spectrometry and Edman-based sequencing.
One step staining, no fixing, no washing, no microwaving.
100% aqueous formulation. No acetic acid or toxic methanol.
Bands are visible after 5 minutes. Maximum sensitivity after 60 minutes.
Replaces time-consuming SYPRO Ruby gel stain for fluorescence-based imaging of bands.
One-Step Lumitein™ Protein Gel Stain is available in 1 liter bottle or 4 liter Cubitainer® sizes.
