RedSafe Nucleic Acid Staining Solution (20,000x) is a safer alternative to EtBr (ethidium bromide) for nucleic acid staining with equal sensitivity.
RedSafe is used for detecting double-stranded DNA and single-stranded RNA. When bound to nucleic acids, RedSafe exhibits two fluorescence excitation maxima at 309 nm and 419 nm and is visible at a wavelength of 514 nm. Compared with EtBr, a potent carcinogen, RedSafe showed almost no mutation in the Ames test and negative results in mouse marrow chromophilous erythrocyte micronucleus test and mouse spermary spermatocyte chromosomal aberration test.
