Can SYPRO Ruby be reused?
Posted August 16, 2021
Answer
Yes, SYPRO Ruby can be reused but there are a few limitations you should be aware of.
SYPRO Ruby can be re-used only up to two times without affecting its detection sensitivity. Using a twice-used stain reduces the signal intensity up to 2.5 fold. Increasing the staining volume to 100ml is advisable to improve detection sensitivity when reusing the stain.
