This technology has been the basis for a number of products used for protein and cellular analysis. The company has exquisitely sensitive and easy to use fluorescence-based protein gel stains (for 1 and 2D electrophoresis), kits for protein and peptide quantification, monitoring proteolysis and for imaging live cells in real time.
