BCodePro™ BlueS Gel Solution
Overview
BCodePro™ BlueS Gel Solution is a high-sensitivity CBB staining reagent that allows quick and clear visualization of protein bands after SDS-PAGE. Bands can be partially observed even before destaining, enabling fast confirmation of band positions. Destaining can be done with distilled water (DW), making the process simple and convenient.

Features:
High sensitivity (~12.5 ng)
Fast staining (Stains in 20 min)
Easy destaining with DW
Pre-destain band visibility
High sensitivity
A high-sensitivity solution capable of detecting as little as 12.5 ng of protein, allowing fast and accurate band visualization even from small samples.
With higher sensitivity than conventional CBB staining (~50 ng), it ensures reliable detection of diluted or low-abundance proteins.
Staining 20 min
Destaining 30 min
Fast staining, quick results
Bands are visible to the naked eye after just 20 minutes of staining, and become even clearer after 30 minutes of destaining.
Short staining and destaining times allow for rapid band confirmation, helping accelerate your workflow—even before destaining is complete.
Why choose CBB Staining?
| Principle | Sensitivity | Time | Cost | Limitations | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CBB Staining | Dye binds directly to proteins | Medium | 30~60 min | Low | Requires destaining steps |
| Silver Staining | Silver ions bind to proteins and are reduced to visible metal | High | 3~4 hours | Medium | Labor-intensive, limited downstream compatibility |
| Reverse Staining | Background is stained, proteins appear as clear bands | High | 30~60 min | Low | Sensitive to conditions, poor compatibility with downstream steps |
| Stain-free Gel | Proteins covalently bind to trihalo compounds, visualized by UV | Medium | 5~10 min | High | Requires special gel and UV illuminator |
CBB staining is one of the most widely used protein staining methods in research labs thanks to its simplicity, affordability, and compatibility with downstream experiments and no special equipment required.
If you want fast, straightforward results without complex steps, CBB staining is a reliable and efficient choice.
