L1 is a highly efficient protein PAGE gel staining system, which uses
Coomassie Brilliant Blue and a patented protein staining technology developedby
Genscript.
e
Stain
TM
L1 staining system integrates the traditional three steps of
fixing- staining-destaining into one step and can stain/destain two protein PAGE
gels simultaneously in 10 minutes or less.
e
Stain
TM
L1 protein PAGE gel staining system consists of two parts, one is the
e Stain
TM
L1 protein staining instrument, and the other is the e Stain
TM
L1 protein
staining kit which includes the consumables required for the staining/destaining.
After electrophoresis, transfer the PAGE gel onto the gel holder following the
instruction and insert the gel holder into the staining chamber. Simply press the
start button to start the staining process. The instrument automatically pumps
in/out the staining/destaining buffers and no additional reagents or operations are
needed. e Stain

L1 works with all types of precast as well as homemade mini
PAGE gels. Compared with the conventional staining methods, gels stained by
e Stain
TM
L1 have crisp blue bands with minimum or no background. e Stain
TM
L1
also offers superior sensitivity compared to conventional methods and can detect
as low as 12.5 ng of protein.
e Stain protein staining kit is a one-time-usage consumable for protein PAGE gel
staining. One e Stain kit can stain about 40 gels.
