Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
Stains-All is a cationic carbocyanine dye.
Almost all of the proteins found in skeletal muscle extracts, including the Ca2++Mg2+-ATPase and the 53,000-Da glycoprotein of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, are stained red or pink with Stains-all. Calsequestrin, the 1 60,000-Da glycoprotein, and 170,000-Da protein are stained blue with Stains-all. The ratio of Stains-all staining (measured at 615 nm) to that of Coomassie blue staining (measured at 575 nm) is 1.3 for calsequestrin, 2.0 for calmodulin, 1.4 for troponin C, and 2.2 for S-100. Therefore, in addition to differentially staining these Ca2+-binding proteins blue, Stains-all is a more sensitive stain for these Ca2+-binding proteins than is Coomassie blue[1].

Kinase experiment: |
Slab gels are fixed overnight with 25% isopropyl alcohol and washed exhaustively in 25% isopropyl alcohol to remove SDS. The gels are then stained in the dark for at least 48 h with 0.0025% Stains-all, 25% isopropyl alcohol, 7.5% formamide, and 30 mM Tris base, pH 8.8. The interaction of Stains-all with various Ca2+-binding proteins is also studied in aqueous solution. The standard solution contains 10 mM Tris base, pH 8.8, 0.001% Stains-all, and 0.1% formamide. Ca2+-binding proteins (0.5 to 12 μg) are added to 1.0 mL of solution and then incubated at room temperature in the dark for 30 min. The absorbance at 600 nm is then measured against a control solution, containing no protein, using a spectrophotometer[1]. |

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
