Abstract
A new method for staining biomolecules is described wherein a prepared gelled matrix containing the desired stain is applied onto the biomolecules such that the stain is transferred from the gelled matrix to the biomolecules. This method eliminates the potential hazard of exposing the technician or researcher to the staining solution itself and avoids environmental contamination resulting from the disposal of the staining solution in the water supply.
