The Thermo Scientific Pierce Power Staining kits are designed for fast Coomassie dye staining of protein gels. The Pierce Mini Gel Power Staining Kit enables rapid Coomassie dye staining of proteins mini-size polyacrylamide gels and the removal of unbound stain from the gel matrix. Two mini gels having the same formulation can be accommodated and stained simultaneous in the same power stain cassette.
Traditional Coomassie dye staining techniques require staining for one hour to overnight and prolonged destaining for desired results. When used together, the Pierce Power stain solution, destain solution, and gel pads enable efficient staining and destaining in minutes with results equivalent to, or better than, traditional Coomassie dye staining techniques.
