Improvement and simplification of low‐background silver staining of proteins by using sodium dithionite
Abstract
High sensitivity and low background, the attractive characteristics of the procedure of Blum et al., Electrophoresis 1987, 8, 93–99, for silver staining of proteins in polyacrylamide gels have been improved by sensitizing the gels with sodium dithionite instead of sodium thiosulfate and by equilibration in water after fixation and prior to sensitization. These modifications decrease the background and allow for a longer development period, which in turn increases sensitivity and color contrast. In addition, the colors of the spots are shifted toward colder tones when compared with the original method.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
