Description | SafeView Plus? 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 | ? Easy to Use: SafeView Plus? is a post-stain solution that replaces EtBr. Soak your gel and visualize as you would with EtBr staining. SafeView PlusTM can be used with UV or blue light and has a maximum emission at 525 nm. ? Safe: Non-carcinogenic. ? Ultra-Sensitive: Detect as little as 0.05 – 0.1 ng of DNA per gel band. ? Superior: EtBr is known to cause strand breaks and nicks in DNA. Using SafeView PlusTM minimizes such damage, yielding higher transformation rates and lower mutation rates verses EtBr. For even better cloning results use SafeView Plus? with blue light. |
Application | Safe Detection of dsDNA, ssDNA and RNA in agarose and polyacrylamide gels. Both SafeView? Classic and SafeView Plus? will work with blue light. |
