GreenSafe DNA Gel Stain

Name: GreenSafe DNA Gel Stain
SKU: E0206
Availability: InStock

Safe and sensitive alternative to Ethidium Bromide for DNA/RNA gel visualization in agarose and polyacrylamide gels.

The GreenSafe DNA Gel Stain is a safe and sensitive alternative to Ethidium Bromide (EtBr) for nucleic acid visualization. This DNA gel stain allows clear detection of double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA, and RNA in both agarose and polyacrylamide gels, providing superior sensitivity while eliminating toxic and mutagenic risks.

With a strong excitation peak at 490 nm and emission at 530 nm, the GreenSafe DNA Gel Stain delivers a superior signal-to-noise ratio and reduced background fluorescence. Compatible with common gel documentation systems, it enables seamless integration into existing workflows without the need for protocol changes.

Conveniently supplied as a 25,000× concentrated solution, it is suitable for both pre-staining and post-staining protocols, providing high sensitivity even for small DNA fragments.
