Safe-White? is a new and safe nucleic acid stain for the visualization of nucleic acids in agarose and polyacrylamide gels. This dye eliminates the need for toxic Ethidium Bromide (EtBr, a potent mutagen), commonly used in gel electrophoresis.
Features
? Convenient: Safe-White? is provided as a 6X loading dye, and is mixed directly with samples before gel loading. Inert tracking dye is included to monitor gel progress. ? Easy to Use: View and document your results as you would with EtBr staining. Safe-White? can be excited with UV light, and has maximum emission at 470 nm. ? Safe: Non-carcinogenic. ? Sensitive: Detect as little as 0.2 – 0.5 ng of DNA per gel band. ? Superior: EtBr is known to cause strand breaks and nicks in DNA. Using Safe-White? minimizes such damage, yielding higher transformation rates and lower mutation rates verses EtBr.
Application
Safe Detection of dsDNA, ssDNA and RNA in agarose and polyacrylamide gels.
