I would like to find a method to preserve the gel. We normally soak our acrylamide gels in a glycerol/ethanol solution before drying between sheets of cellophane, but with the zymograms what happens is the bands disappear and everything becomes completely washed out.
I am looking for a way to preserve the gel as it is when the clearing is complete and the stain is still nice and blue.
If you have any suggestions for this it would be much appreciated. up to now, the only way we can record the freshly developed gel is to scan it, which can look great but has its own drawbacks.
