Description

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. 

 

  • Used for detecting double-stranded DNA and single-stranded RNA
  • Safe alternative to EtBr staining
  • As sensitive as EtBr 
  • Allows visualization of DNA (>50 ng) in agarose gel under visible light
  • Non-toxic, non-mutagenic and non-carcinogenic 
  • Visualization of DNA and RNA bands as they separate during agarose gel electrophoresis
  • Isolation of DNA fragments for subcloning 
  • RedSafe Nucleic Acid Staining Solution (20,000x), 1ml
