Abstract
The present invention relates to reagents for separating proteins from detergent, reagents for detecting proteins in the presence of a detergent, and methods of using the same. The separating reagents contain a cyclic oligomer such as cyclodextrin and a cellulose derivative such as 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose. When used in combination with standard protein-complexing dyes, the reagents allow detection of proteins in electrophoresis gels at nanogram levels.
