title: Application of Neuhoff's optimized Coomassie brilliant blue G-250/ammonium sulfate/phosphoric acid protein staining to ultrathin polyacrylamide gels on polyester films.
abstract: An optimized Coomassie staining procedure, utilizing Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 in phosphoric acid/ammonium sulfate, was applied to ultrathin-layer isoelectric focusing in 0.18 mm polyacrylamide gels, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in 0.38 mm polyacrylamide gels, both backed to Gel-Fix polyester supporting films. After isoelectric focusing staining of gelatin and acidic proteins was better with the phosphoric acid/ammonium sulfate procedure than with conventional organic solvent methods. When applied to gels after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the sensitivity of the phosphoric acid/ammonium sulfate method was equal to that on conventional staining but lower than on silver staining.
