    Silver Stains and Kits

    Silver staining is a highly sensitive method for detecting proteins and nucleic acids in polyacrylamide gels.Bio-Rad offers three types of silver stain kits, each having unique features.

  • Fluorescent Protein Stains
    Fluorescent Protein Stains

    Fluorescent staining, when combined with an appropriate imager, is a superior approach for protein analysis compared to Coomassie and silver staining. Bio-Rad offers two types of fluorescent stains.

    Negative Stain Solutions
    Bio-Rad negative stains are based on selective precipitation of metal ions in gels, leaving protein bands unstained and unmodified. Bio-Rad offers two types of negative stains for polyacrylamide gel.
  • Total Protein Blot Stains
    Total Protein Blot Stains

    Detection of all proteins on western blots provides a visual image of the electrophoretic pattern, which helps identify specific antigens in a complex protein mixture.
