Rapid ethanol-based Coomassie Blue staining of SDS-polyacrylamide gels



Rapid ethanol-based Coomassie Blue staining of SDS-polyacrylamide gels (archive)

A staining protocol using ethanol instead of methanol from NWFSC/Molecular Biology Protocols. It also works well with methanol-based stain and destain, but significant amounts of methanol vapor are released into the laboratory---the ethanol is safer and just as effective.
