Claims
- 1. A method for the detection of protein on polyacrylamide gels comprising the steps of staining the polyacrylamide gels with a counter-dye composition containing an acidic organic dye and a basic organic dye, wherein the acidic organic dye and the basic organic dye are selected from the group consisting of Zincon and Ethy violet, Zincon and Methyl violet, Zincon and Meldola's blue, Coomassie brilliant blueR and Phenosafranin, Coomassie brilliant blue G and Methyl orange, Calconcarboxylic acid and Rhodamine B, and Eriochrome black T and Rhodamine B and protein complexes with the counter-dye composition, and observing protein-counter-dye complexes.
- 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the counter-dye composition contains dyes selected from the group consisting of Zincon and Ethyl violet, Zincon and Methyl violet, Coomassie brilliant blue R and Phenosafranin, and Coomassie brilliant blue G and Methyl orange.
- 3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the counter-dye composition contains Zincon and Ethyl violet, or Zincon and Methyl violet.
- 4. The method according to claim 3, wherein Zincon has a concentration of 0.001-0.02% by weight of the volume of the composition.
- 5. The method according to claim 3, wherein the molar ratio of Zincon to Ethyl violet or Methyl violet is 1 to 0.8.
- 6. The method according to claim 3, wherein the counter-dye composition further contains 7 v/v % acetic acid-containing 35 v/v % aqueous methanol solution.
