Imaging SYPRO Ruby and Deep Purple Stained Gels with G:BOX ichemi XR and XT

This paper denotes how SynGene’s G:BOX iChemi XR/XT multi-functional image analysis systems can be used to detect and analyse the sensitive protein stains, Deep Purple and SYPRO Ruby. SYPRO Ruby is a protein stain for the detection of proteins separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). SYPRO Ruby stain can be used with either 1D or 2D gels. The SYPRO Ruby stain has equivalent, or better, sensitivity than silver staining techniques. Deep Purple stain is a fluorescent stain used in the detection of proteins in gels or blots following electrophoretic separation. Deep Purple stain has been shown to be compatible with mass spectrometry.
