Stains-All is widely used in biochemical and molecular biology research for staining various biological molecules. It is particularly effective for detecting nucleic acids, proteins, and glycosaminoglycans in gel electrophoresis. The dye binds to different molecules, producing distinct color patterns that help researchers identify and analyze them. For example, it can differentiate between DNA, RNA, and proteins based on the resulting colors. Additionally, Stains-All is used in histology to visualize specific tissue components under a microscope. Its versatility makes it a valuable tool in laboratories for studying complex biological samples.
