Yes. The solution will be cloudy immediately upon dilution to 1X, especially if it is cold. The cloudiness should dissipate with mixing.

Store Krypton Protein Stain at 4 degrees C; although it is stable enough for ambient shipping. The 10X solution is under warranty for one year from the date of shipment if handled and stored properly. The Working Solution (1X) is stable at 4 degrees C for 1-2 weeks.

Filter sets designed for Cy3 will work with the Krypton Protein Stain. Thermo Scientific scientists have used GE Healthcare Typhoon 9410 Variable Mode Imager (532 nm laser excitation; 580 BP 30 emission filter), Kodak Imager (CCD; 535 nm excitation and 600 nm emission filters), and visible light box. Sensitivity is better with lasers than with transilluminators.

Yes. HeLa cell and rat heart tissue lysates separated by 2D electrophoresis and stained with the Krypton Protein Stain provided excellent sensitivity while not over-saturating highly concentrated spots. MALDI tryptic peptide mass fingerprinting of BSA and myoglobin resulted in characteristic profiles. The proteins were destained and processed with the Thermo Scientific In-Gel Tryptic Digestion Kit (Cat. No. 89871). The lack of peak shifts indicates that the dye was not bound to the proteins after destaining.

Yes. Bio-Rad Flamingo, GE Healthcare Deep Purple and Invitrogen SYPRO Ruby Stains, all had problems not observed with Krypton Protein Stain. For example, Flamingo Stain saturates and requires a full five hours for staining, Deep Purple Stain produces fuzzy spots on 2D gels and SYPRO Ruby Stain is expensive and the least sensitive of the four.

Ionic interactions cause the stain to bind basic amino acid residues, and hydrophobic interactions allow it to bind to alkyl chains. The dual-binding action makes the Krypton Protein Stain a universal stain for protein staining.

The standard protocol takes only 2.5 hours to complete. A rapid, 30 minute protocol is also available that is sensitive down to 2 ng.

Krypton Protein Stain has been used with Thermo Scientific Precise Protein Gels (Tris-HEPES), Invitrogen Invitrogen Gels (Tris-glycine) and NuPAGE (Bis-Tris) and Bio-Rad Criterion Gels (Tris-HCl). Krypton Protein Stain is also compatible with homemade gels, native gels and 2D gels. Sensitivity may vary depending on gel type.

The stain is sensitive down to 0.25 ng using the standard protocol, or down to 2 ng using the rapid 30 minute protocol. A broad range of proteins have been tested with molecular weights from 14.4 to 200 K, including glycoproteins and phosphoproteins. Some of the proteins tested are as follows: myosin, beta-galactosidase, phosphorylase B, bovine serum albumin, ovalbumin, carbonic anhydrase, soybean trypsin inhibitor, lysozyme, aprotinin, horseradish peroxidase, myokinase, avidin, glucose oxidase, a2-macroglobulin, a1-acid glycoprotein, and beta-casein. (HeLa cell and rat heart tissue lysates were tested with 2D applications).

We don't recommend using Krypton Fluorescent Protein Stain with UV light because the sensitivity of the stain decreases by four-five fold in UV light. Instead, we recommend using SYPRO Ruby Protein Gel Stain (Cat. Nos. S12000, S12001, S21900).
