• Destaining not required but may be performed with deionized water to achieve maximum sensitivity, especially when performing downstream analyses such as mass spectrometry, or when a crystal-clear background is required
• Sensitive—detect down to 7 ng of protein
• Fast—detect 1 μg of protein in as little as five minutes after staining
• Convenient—save valuable time by skipping reagent preparation with this ready-to-use formulation
• Non-hazardous—save money and hassle associated with hazardous shipping and disposal of hazardous waste
