What Is Stain-Free Technology?

Find out more

TGX Stain-Free FastCast premixed acrylamide solutions bring all the benefits of TGX gel chemistry to handcast polyacrylamide gels. TGX (Tris-Glycine eXtended) formulation retains Laemmli-like separation characteristics while using a standard Tris-glycine running buffer system. TGX Stain-Free FastCast premixed acrylamide solutions for hand casting are available in the most commonly used cross-linking ratios for PAGE systems.

TGX Stain-Free chemistry enables rapid fluorescent detection of proteins directly within gels and blots with Bio-Rad's stain-free enabled imagers. Protein samples can be separated in 20 minutes and then visualized in 5 minutes.

Features and Benefits of TGX Stain-Free FastCast Acrylamide Solutions

  • Handcast gels ready to run in as little as 30 min
  • Long shelf life — handcast gels remain fresh for up to 4 weeks at 4°C
  • Stain-free visualization of proteins in your gel or blot in less than 5 min with stain-free enabled imaging systems (Gel Doc™ EZ, Gel Doc XR+, ChemiDoc™ MP, ChemiDoc XRS+, and ChemiDoc Touch Systems)
  • Electrophoresis run times as short as 20 min using the Mini-PROTEAN® Tetra or Criterion™ cells
  • Efficient protein transfers in as little as 3 min using the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ transfer system
  • Ability to monitor the success of your electrophoresis and transfer steps without additional staining

Applications and Uses of TGX Stain-Free FastCast Acrylamide Solutions

  • 1-D polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for separation of proteins
  • Accurate molecular weight estimation
  • Robust separation for complex samples
