GelRed Nucleic Acid Gel Stain 10.000x in water (0,5mL)

GelRed is an ultra sensitive, extremely stable and environmentally safe fluorescent nucleic acid dye designed to replace the highly toxic ethidium bromide (EB) for staining dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA in agarose gels or polyacrylamide gels. GelRed is far more sensitive than EB without requiring a destaining step. GelRed and EB have virtually the same spectra, so you can directly replace EB with GelRed without changing your existing imaging system.

GelRed can be used to stain dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA in agarose gels via either precast or post gel staining. GelRed can also be used to stain dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA in polyacrylamide gels via post gel staining. GelRed is also compatible with downstream DNA manipulations such as restriction digest, sequencing, and cloning.
A series of safety tests have confirmed that GelRed is noncytotoxic, nonmutagenic and nonhazardous at concentrations well above the working concentrations used in gel staining. As a result, working strength GelRed can be safely disposed of down the drain or in regular trash, providing convenience and reducing cost in waste disposal.

FEATURES
Safer than EB: Shown by the Ames test and other tests to be nonmutagenic and noncytotoxic
Easy disposal: Passed environmental safety tests for direct disposal down the drain or in regular trash
Ultra-sensitive: Much more sensitive than EtBr and SYBR® Safe
Extremely stable: Available in water, stable at room temperature for long-term storage and microwavable
Simple to use: Very simple procedures for precast or post-electrophoresis gel staining
Compatible with a standard UV transilluminator : Replaces EtBr with no optical setting change
Compatible with downstream applications : Gel purification, restriction digest, sequencing and cloning
