Imaging Criterion™ TGX Stain-Free™ Gels Compared to Standard Coomassie Staining Procedures Using G:BOX Imaging System
15 Sept 2013The ability to be able to visualize gels without a staining step has proved very popular. Stain-free technology has many advantages over staining procedures such as Coomassie blue. This application note demonstrates how by using the recommended lighting and filter combination, 302nm UV transilluminator and UV filter, users can successfully image Criterion TGX Stain-Free gels using any of the Syngene G:BOX imaging systems.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.
