How QuickBlue works
Using QuickBlue is simple. Just remove your SDS-PAGE gel from the cassette, add QuickBlue and incubate for 15 minutes. No need for gel fixing, washing or destaining.
Comparison of QuickBlue and Instant Blue
Identical amounts of two proteins (TEV protease and T7 DNA polymerase) were loaded onto SDS-PAGE gels, run and stained either with QuickBlue or Instant Blue.
A: TEV protease 3.5 ug
B: TEV protease 700 ng
C: TEV protease 350 ng
D: TEV protease 116 ng
L1: 3 ul of PageRuler™ Plus Prestained Protein Ladder
E: T7 RNA Polymerase 3.5 ug
F: T7 RNA Polymerase 700 ng
G: T7 RNA Polymerase 350 ng
H : T7 RNA Polymerase 116 ng
L2 : 3 ul of AcuteBand Pre-Stained Protein Ladder (#LU5001-0500, LubioScience)
Customer testimonials
QuickBlue is an excellent product. Easy to use, very sensitive and I particularly like the fact that it can be stored at room temperature.
We have tested QuickBlue against Instant Blue and it performs just as well. It can be re-used multiple times, which is economical.
