Coomassie Blue: destaining



Coomassie Blue: destaining

I am using PhastGel BlueR coomassie blue dye from Pharmacia, I am concearned
with destaining the gel without losing the signal from the bands (I have
around 10ng protein per band)


I am currently destaining in 10% Acetic acid, this takes quite a long time
and leaves an uneven blue background. I was considering using methanol ... ...
