| In vitro | Tissue Staining: 1. prepare a staining solution for Ponceau 4R (usually in water or an appropriate buffer at a concentration of 0.1%-1%). 2. for staining of tissue sections or certain biological samples, after which the stain is rinsed with an appropriate solution to remove background staining. 3. protein electrophoresis or immunoblotting experiments: under certain circumstances, Ponceau 4R may be used as a dye to detect protein bands, but is less commonly used for routine immunoblotting (WB) because its azo dye properties may interfere with certain experimental analyses." |
