fixation of the gels: minimum 1 h in solution A (make sure the gel is submersed in the solution) at room temperature

wash: remove solution A and wash in solution B for 30 minutes at room temperature

staining: 1 h. in solution C, keep gels in a dark place to prevent bleaching

fading: remove solution C and add solutioni D, 15 minutes incubation in the dark. Repeat this once.


Store gel in solution D at 4�C
