AdvanStain^TM Scarlet – a sensitive, quantitative fluorescent stain for detecting total protein on gels and blots

AdvanStain Scarlet is a fluorescent stain for gels and blots that allows sensitive and quantitative visualization of proteins. Gels and blots stained with AdvanStain Scarlet can be imaged on any fluorescent imaging system, including laser- and CCD-based systems, with a detection limit of less than 1 ng of protein per band or spot.
Fully compatible with downstream Western blotting or mass spectrometry, AdvanStain Scarlet is non-toxic and biodegradable, for safe and simple disposal.

• Sensitive- detect less than a nanogram of protein per spot
• Convenient- simple 3-hour protocol
• Flexible- stain gels or membranes
• Reversible- destain for downstream Western blotting or mass spectrometry
• No speckling- clean background and no speckling for better data
• Safe- biodegradable and contains no heavy metals for increased safety and simple disposal
• Compatible- image with any laser or CCD imaging system. Compatible excitation wavelengths include green (543, 532 nm), blue (488 nm), violet (405 nm) and UV (302, 365 nm). Maximum emission wavelength is 610 nm. 

The Octoplus QPLEX sets a novel standard for high power multiplex fluorescence large area imaging as well as sensitive chemiluminescence. It combines the sensitivity of laser-based systems with the rapid image acquisition of CCD cameras. The system introduces the latest improvements in fluorescence excitation and emission detection technologies. 

 “The combination of the Octoplus QPLEX and the customized fluorescent labeling kits from NH DyeAGNOSTICS saves us much time and effort in the daily routine protein diagnostics.”
