Traditional (classical or conventional) immunoelectrophoresis has a number of drawbacks, including the fact that it is time consuming and the protocol might take up to 3 days to finish, has limited specificity and sensitivity, and

688-599: Is the preferred method for protein characterization because its ease of operation, its high sensitivity, and its low requirement for specific antibodies. In addition proteins are separated by gel electrophoresis on the basis of their apparent molecular weight, which is not accomplished by immunoelectrophoresis, but nevertheless immunoelectrophoretic methods are still useful when non-reducing conditions are needed. Counter-immunoelectrophoresis and its modification In comparison to other conventional methods of diagnosis e.g. for viral infection testing, counter-immunoelectrophoresis

731-527: The Colour Index lists over 40 dyes with "Coomassie" in their name. There are also other Coomassie "blue" dyes. For example, the Merck Index (10th edition) lists Coomassie Blue RL (Acid Blue 92, C.I. 13390), which has a completely different structure. The suffix "R" in the name of Coomassie brilliant blue R-250 is an abbreviation for "red" as the blue colour of the dye has a slight reddish tint. For

1161-401: The dye is bright blue with a maximum at 595 nm. At pH 7 the dye has an extinction coefficient of 43,000 M  cm . The different colours are a result of the different charged states of the dye molecule. In the red form, all three nitrogen atoms carry a positive charge. The two sulfonic acid groups have extremely low p K a and will normally be negatively charged, thus at

1204-417: The dye stained the polyacrylamide gel as well as the protein, in order to visualise the protein bands they needed to destain the gel, which they did electrophoretically. Subsequent publications reported that polyacrylamide gels could be successfully destained using an acetic acid solution. The first report of the use of the G form of the dye to visualise protein bands in polyacrylamide gels came in 1967, where

1247-399: The dye was dissolved in an acetic acid solution containing methanol. It was subsequently discovered that the protein bands could be stained without staining the polyacrylamide by using a colloid of the G form of the dye in a trichloroacetic acid solution containing no methanol. With this procedure it was no longer necessary to destain the gel. Modern formulations typically use a colloid of
