A simple method for obtaining permanent imprints of Coomassie Blue and Amido Black stained electrophoretograms on developed unexposed photographic paper and film is described. Copies of slab and two-dimensional electrophoretograms and crossed immunoelectrophoretograms were obtained by this technique. The method is fast, simple, inexpensive and can be adapted to make as many as five copies by repeated staining of the electrophoretogram. The copies are the exact size of the original gels and can be stored for a long time. The possible use of these imprints for the comparative study of immunoblots with the corresponding protein-stained gels is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
