The Safest Way to Stain Agarose Gels

 

New Midori Green DNA Stain,The Safest Way to Stain Agarose Gels.


Midori Green DNA Stain does not have any of the hazards traditionally associated with using ethidium bromide to detect nucleic acids in agarose gels. It is however as sensitive as ethidium bromide and can be used in exactly the same way for staining gels.

When bound to DNA or RNA, the Midori Green DNA Stain emits green fluorescence. It is compatible with a wide variety of gel reading instruments due to having one strong excitation peak centred around 500nm and two secondary fluorescence excitation peaks (~300nm and ~400nm). The fluorescence emission is centred around ~540nm.

Midori Green DNA Stain is non-carcinogenic and according to the Ames test it causes significantly fewer mutations than ethidium bromide.
