Features and Benefits
An alternative to ethidium bromide for staining nucleic acids in gels. Although sensitivity is two- to five-fold less, it offers several advantages:
• less hazardous
• gels can be viewed in visible light
• photographic documentation does not require a darkroom
• no UV-induced DNA damage
• stained gels can be stored several days with little loss of band sharpness or intensity
• destaining time only 30 min for polyacrylamide gels or overnight for agarose gels
