Abstract: A new Na2S2O4 silver staining method is described for detecting the proteins of housefly separated by SDS-PAGE. In this staining method, besides the regents and steps are different from the classical silver staining method, fixation and ethanol washing are not necessary. Only twenty minutes were needed to complete the whole staining process. This method has a low demand for regents and manipulation, but can still reach the sensitivity level of nanogram.
