Protocol for staining mini-gel

  1. Gently mix CosmoPAGE Bullet CBB by inverting the bottle a couple times before use.

  2. Pour 20 mL of CosmoPAGE Bullet CBB into a container. Ensure that the amount used is sufficient to fully immerse the entire gel.

  3. After completing electrophoresis, carefully transfer the gel to the container specified in step 2. Gently shake the container at room temperature to allow the gel to stain for 15 minutes. *Washing before staining is not required.

  4. Observe the stained image. For the observation, refer to the reference data under <Data 1>.

  5. For a clearer stained image, stain for at least 60 minutes and then destain in purified water for at least 60 minutes. Refer to the reference data under <Data 2>.

 

Reference Data

<Data 1> For observation of the stained image

After 15 minutes of staining, a stained image is visible even if the gel remains in the staining solution. However, for clearer observation, remove the gel from the staining solution and place it on a white board or gently rinse it with purified water.
