Subject: Re: silver stain problem
Hello A.G.E.,
as coincidence works, I did just yesterday for the first time the "Quick&dirty"
silver staining method (microwave) which you mentioned here a few months back.
I had two SDS-PAGE's, one stained with "my" usual method (3h) and the other one
with the quick method (30min). It worked really great, at the first approach.
And there were not such _big_ differences between the quick and the "slow"
method.
Actually, though, I did first the step with the thiosulfate and then the
staining-step with the silver, as "my" "old" method is proceeding like that.
just wanted to take the advantage to "report" this, seeing your post today ;).
with kindest regards
janosch
