UNSPSC 41105345: Protein gel stain

Stains specific to visualization of proteins separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, that are not polyacrylimide in composition

UNSPSC 41105345 Protein gel stain is a Commodity code covering laboratory reagents used in protein analysis and visualization in life sciences research and diagnostic settings. State and local governments procure protein gel stains primarily through university research facilities, public health laboratories, and state-level scientific institutions that conduct molecular biology work, forensic analysis, and clinical diagnostics. The stains are used to detect and quantify proteins separated by gel electrophoresis, a foundational technique in biochemistry, genetics research, and quality-control testing across academic and governmental labs.

The recent-opportunities block contains no active solicitations for this code. The narrow, reagent-specific nature of UNSPSC 41105345 generates limited state and local procurement visibility — purchases typically flow through existing lab supply contracts, blanket purchase orders, or cooperative purchasing vehicles managed by university systems and state health departments rather than through standalone RFP or RFQ notices. Firms pursuing this code should focus on pre-established vendor relationships with state university procurement offices, public health laboratory systems, and research institutions rather than expecting frequent open-market solicitations.
