Hi-Zinc Destain

Hi-Zinc Destain is widely used for protein destaining purpose. Hi-Zinc Stain (Product Code: ML057) is a unique staining solution as it functions in a reversible way as the protein bands on the polyacrylamide gels disappear completely after treatment with the destaining solution. This staining solution acts in a single step and is based upon the interaction of zinc ions with the protein bands and polyacrylamide gels. Gels stained with the Hi-Zinc Stain can be transferred for immunoblotting procedures after destaining in 5 minutes with Hi-Zinc Destain (ML058) . The solution is supplied as 10X concentrate and should be diluted to 1X before use. Hi-Zinc Destain provides efficient background clearance for gels treated with zinc based negative stains. This destaining solution is an integral part of gel processing in molecular protein research testing to ensure optimal contrast and band recovery.
