Quick Blue Protein Stain: Fast, Sensitive, and Eco-Friendly
IBI Scientific Quick Blue Protein Stain is a rapid, 1-step Coomassie Blue-type stain that simplifies your protein staining workflow. With a staining time of just 15 minutes, this non-toxic solution is free from organic solvents and phosphoric acid, ensuring a safer and environmentally friendly option for your lab. Its high sensitivity, detecting as little as 5 ng of protein, makes it 50 times more sensitive than other rapid stains, while its low background ensures accurate quantitation of protein bands.
Durable, High-Resolution, and MS-Compatible
Expect sharp, high-resolution protein bands comparable to traditional Coomassie stains. This durable solution is reusable up to three times, adding cost efficiency to its benefits. Its compatibility with mass spectrometry (MS) further expands its utility in advanced proteomics workflows. With a 1-year shelf life at room temperature and no risk of precipitate formation, Quick Blue Protein Stain is ready to use whenever you need it, delivering consistent results in every application. Available in a convenient 1-liter size.

Tech Info:
IBI Scientific Quick Blue Stain will stain the PVDF membrane however it will also interact with the protein bands which may or may not cause problems with your antibody detection method during Western Blotting procedure.
Simple 1-Step Protocol:
- Remove gel from cassette and place into container.
- Cover gel with 25 ml of Quick Blue Stain and leave for 15 minutes, or until all weak protein bands are fully developed.
- Store the gel in the Quick Blue Stain overnight. Then either leave in Quick Blue Stain, or transfer to DI water for extended storage.
