Protein Transfer


BLOT-FastStain™ Sensitive and reversible protein membrane stain


A unique stain for reversible staining of protein on nitrocellulose and PVDF transfer membranes.


BLOT-FastStain™ only stains protein and leaves the background absolutely untouched and brilliant white resulting in high band visibility. The staining procedure takes 10 minutes and has a sensitivity of 2ng BSA, higher than silver stains. Destain the membrane by simply rinsing in warm water for 10 minutes.


Staining and destaining does not affect the biological properties of the proteins. After destaining, protein bands can be probed with Western blot protocols and other analyses including sequencing work.


Each Enhancer™ is provided with a set of 12 x 8 well application strips. Enhancer™ is provided with a flip-application tray which accommodates 96 application tubes. The application tray may be flipped four times to apply 4 x 96 samples on a 12 x 9cm membrane. A total of 384 samples where spots or samples are 3-4mm apart.


Load 2-5µl samples into the sample application tubes which allow deposition of the samples on the binding membranes by a point of entry capillary action. No risk of cross contamination or waste of samples. In less than 30 minutes you can prepare a dot blot or an array of up to 384 samples.

DESCRIPTION BLOT-FastStain™


SIZE 25 blots


Dot Blot Protein Transfer Enhancer™


Uniform application of up to 384 samples


Enhancer™ allows for the rapid application of up to 384 protein or nucleic acid samples onto a 12 x 9cm membrane for subsequent analysis. Samples are applied to a nitrocellulose or nylon membrane by capillary action, resulting in concentration of sample due to minimal diffusion. This prevents sample waste and cross contamination of samples. Grid formation allows for easy identification of samples after probing.
