Introduction:

Quick-Bands sample treatment buffer (sample loading buffer) pre-stains a protein sample for SDS-PAGE. Protein samples are stained fluorescently during sample treatment prior to electrophoresis. Protein bands in an SDS-gel and on a membrane after transfer can be visualized and analyzed by an UV or LED transilluminator or by a digital gel image system. Quick-Bands are more sensitive than silver staining.

Storage and Sta.bility:

50. Immediately store the package at -20 ℃ upon receiving.
50. Quick-Bands Sample Treatment Buffer is stable for 12 month at -20 ℃, 12-15 weeks at 4 ℃ and 2-3 weeks at room temperature.
50. Like regular sample treatment buffer, oxidation of reducing reagent such as DTT is the major problem for long term storage of Quick-Bands at room temperature. Some protein bands could become less sharp and less bright if Quick-Bands is stored at RT for more than 3 weeks. Add freshly made DTT will restore band sharpness and brightness. The final concentration of DTT in Quick-Bands should not be over 20 mM
50. Always avoid direct light
