Comparing Criterion TGX Stain-Free gels to standard Coomassie staining procedures

In this application note, Syngene outlines how users can successfully image Criterion TGX Stain-Free gels using any Syngene G:BOX imaging system by using the recommended lighting and filter combination, 302nm UV transilluminator and UV filter. The stain-free method of visualizing cells has comparable sensitivity to that of more traditional techniques such as Coomassie Blue Safe staining and also has the potential to significantly reduce the lengthy SDS-PAGE workflow.
