I am staining my protein gel with multiple stains over several days. How do I prevent excessive gel tearing?
For gels that you are pouring yourself, add Rhinohide Polyacrylamide Gel Strengthener (Cat. Nos. R33400, R33410) to the formulation. Decrease the shaker speed/motion; only very gentle rocking is required. Slowly decant solutions during solution changes and avoid touching the gel as much as possible when pouring out solutions.
