FluoroVue Nucleic Acid Gel Stain (10,000x) is a fluorescent stain specially designed for in-gel use. This stain offers high sensitivity detection of double-stranded or single-stranded DNA and RNA in a convenient manner. FluoroVue Nucleic Acid Gel Stain is a safer replacement for conventional Ethidium bromide (EtBr), which poses a significant health and safety hazard for its user, and has a greater sensitivity as well.
FluoroVue Nucleic Acid Gel Stain is compatible with both the conventional ultra violet gel-illumination systems and the safer long wave length blue light illumination systems, including the B-BOX Blue Light LED epi-illuminator. When bound to nucleic acids, the FluoroVue Nucleic Acid Gel Stain has fluorescent excitation maxima of 250 and 482 nm, and an emission maximum of 509 nm. Therefore, it can replace EtBr without the need for changing existing lab imaging systems.
