1. Overview
1.1 Instrument
eStain L1 is a highly efficient protein PAGE gel staining system, which uses
Coomassie Brilliant Blue and a patented protein staining technology developed
Overview
by Genscript. eStain L1 staining system integrates the traditional three steps of
fixing- staining-destaining into one step and can stain/destain two protein PAGE
gels simultaneously in 10 minutes or less.
eStain L1 protein PAGE gel staining system consists of two parts, one is the
eStain L1 protein staining instrument, and the other is the eStain L1 protein
staining kit which includes the consumables required for the staining/destaining.
After electrophoresis, transfer the PAGE gel onto the gel holder following the
instruction and insert the gel holder into the staining chamber. Simply press the
start button to start the staining process. The instrument automatically pumps
in/out the staining/destaining buffers and no additional reagents or operations are
needed. eStain L1 works with all types of precast as well as homemade mini
PAGE gels. Compared with the conventional staining methods, gels stained by
eStain L1 have crisp blue bands with minimum or no background. eStain L1 also
offers superior sensitivity compared to conventional methods and can detect as
low as 12.5 ng of protein.
eStain L1 protein staining kit is a one-time-usage consumable for protein PAGE
Important note
gel staining. One eStain L1 protein staining kit (L00659-1) can stain about 40
gels.
Important features of the eStain L1 Protein Staining System include:

Blue
•
Easy to use, convenient
•
Staining/destaining buffers are pumped in/out automatically and no other
reagents are needed
•
