SERVA Purple is a fluorescent protein staining dye (250× concentrate) used for detection of proteins in gels and on blotting membranes. It is based on the naturally occurring fluorescent compound Epicocconone, which reversibly binds to lysine, arginine, and histidine residues in proteins and peptides, forming an intensely red-fluorescent product.
The dye is a further development of Epicocconone with improved properties through a novel production and purification technology, while maintaining cost-effectiveness compared to other fluorescence dyes and silver staining methods.
It is environmentally friendly and easy to use, with sensitivity down to 50 pg/band and linear quantification over 4 orders of magnitude. It is compatible with MS and DIGE labelling, and stained gels can be further processed by Western blotting after imaging.
Available in 250× concentrate format.
