Fluorescent Dye
Syngene's UltraSafe Blue non-toxic, non-carcinogenic fluorescent dye is specifically developed as a safer and more sensitive alternative to ethidium bromide for staining agarose and acrylamide gels.
The dye is a safe fluorescent nucleic acid stain which allows detection of
0.5pg of dsDNA using Syngene’s new UltraSlim-LED blue-light
transilluminator. Additionally, because teh dye is a non-intercalating
stain, there is less effect on the quality of the DNA or RNA. Nucleic acids
stained with the dye can be more easily used in downstream experiments such
as RT-PCR, enzyme digestion, and ligation, thus saving time and effort with
multiple purification steps.
The dye is very cost effective, with 1ml of stain being sufficient for up to
10,000 samples and using this dye also means making cost savings for many
institutions, as gels do not have to be disposed of as hazardous waste.
