FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye is designed as a safe replacement for conventional Ethidium bromide (EtBr), which poses a significant health and safety hazard for its users. FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye offers at least 10 times sensitivity in DNA detection levels and can detect double stranded DNA (dsDNA) fragments up to 0.04 ng in electrophoresis analysis. FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye shows a high specificity to dsDNA with negligible background, rendering the destaining process optional.

FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye is compatible with both the conventional ultra violet gel-illuminating systems and the less harmful, long wave length blue light illumination systems, including the B-BOX Blue Light LED epi-illuminator. The emission of FlouroStain™ when bound to dsDNA is 522 nm, while the excitation peaks occur at 270, 370 and 497 nm.
