InstaBlue Protein Stain Solution Protocol
2026-09-15
InstaBlue Protein Stain Solution provides rapid Coomassie Brilliant Blue visualization of protein bands in polyacrylamide gels without fixation, washing, or destaining. It is appropriate for routine protein electrophoresis analysis and workflows that may lead to mass spectrometry, but it should be validated locally for quantitative use and for applications requiring fixed gels or defined covalent protein modifications.
