01 /Applications

Protein Staining in Electrophoresis

Fast Green FCF is widely employed for staining proteins separated by SDS-PAGE, native PAGE, and isoelectric focusing (IEF). Its sensitivity is comparable to or greater than other common protein stains, especially after gel fixation.

Research and Laboratory Reagent

As a specialized laboratory reagent, Fast Green FCF is suitable for biochemical and molecular biology research. It is used in studies involving protein analysis and quantification within gels.

Histology and Cell Biology

While primarily used for protein electrophoresis, Fast Green FCF can also find applications in histology and cell biology as a differential stain, though its primary use remains protein detection.

02 /Properties

Molecular weight	808.85
Linear formula	C37H34N2O10S3Na2
Application	Fast Green FCF dye is used for protein staining in IEF, native PAGE and SDS-PAGE. Fast Green staining is linear over a wider range of protein concentrations than Brilliant Blue R. After electrophoresis, fixing the proteins in the gel is recommended for maximum sensitivity. The gel can then be stained for 2 hr with 0.1% Fast Green FCF in either 30% (v/v) ethanol, 10% (v/v) acetic acid or in 7% acetic acid. The gel can be destained with either 30% (v/v) ethanol, 10% (v/v) acetic acid, or 7% acetic acid. The stained gel can be scanned at 625 nm. The detection sensitivity is approx. 30% that with Brilliant Blue R.
