Features include:
• A nondestructive, reversible method to stain and detect proteins on nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes
• Minimal nonspecific interactions with the membrane surface; provides a reliable method for visualization of protein transfer to a membrane
• Simple and quick staining protocol that results in reddish-pink bands that are easily photographed
• Reversed easily in less than five minutes
• Subsequent western blot detection unaffected as the stain does not alter the membrane-bound protein
