Product Description

One-Step Lumitein™ UV Protein Gel Stain is a ready-to-use luminescent red protein gel stain optimized for use on UV transilluminators. With no fixation or wash steps required, One-Step Lumitein™ UV is a great choice for convenience and safety. One-Step Lumitein™ UV can detect as little as approximately 1-10 ng of protein per band.

  • One-step staining procedure, no fixation required
  • Non-toxic formulation is safe for easy disposal
  • Sensitive protein detection down to 1-10 ng
  • Optimized for use with a UV transilluminator
  • 1 L and 4 L sizes
  • Store at 4°C

Fast and simple procedure

One-Step Lumitein™ UV gel staining requires only a single 5-30 minute staining step without fixation. Destaining is optional. One-Step Lumitein™ UV can detect as little as approximately 1-10 ng of protein per band depending on the staining method used, although staining intensity varies between proteins. Staining is fully compatible with mass spectrometry and Edman-based sequencing. Gels stained with One-Step Lumitein™ UV Protein Gel Stain can be visualized with a variety of different UV-based fluorescence imaging systems.

The results obtained with One-Step Lumitein™ UV are comparable to those with Oriole™ Fluorescent Gel Stain; however, One-Step Lumitein™ UV has a more convenient protocol, does not contain hazardous solvents, and does not cause gel shrinkage. Furthermore, One-Step Lumitein™ costs significantly less than other fluorescent protein gel stains. One-Step Lumitein™ UV Protein Gel Stain is available in 1 liter bottle or 4 liter Cubitainer® sizes.

One-Step Lumitein™ UV is non-toxic

One-Step Lumitein™ UV Protein Gel Stain offers safer handling and ease of disposal, because it is an aqueous-based solution that does not contain hazardous methanol or acetic acid. One-Step stains are certified under CCR Title 22 as non-toxic to the environment for drain disposal after a simple pH neutralization step.

Red fluorescent One-Step Lumitein™ UV Protein Gel Stain is designed for imaging using a UV transilluminator. It is an alternative to Oriole™ Fluorescent Gel Stain, but does not contain hazardous solvents and does not cause gel shrinkage.
