RedSafe™ Nucleic Acid Staining Solution (20,000x) is a new and safe alternative stain to Ethidium Bromide (EtBr) for the detection of nucleic acids in agarose gels. RedSafe fluoresces green when bound to DNA or RNA.
This new dye has two maximum fluorescent excitations when bound to nucleic acid, one at 309 nm and another at 419 nm. Additionally, it has excitation in visible light at 514 nm.
The fluorescent emission of RedSafe™ Nucleic Acid Staining Solution bound to DNA is centered at 537 nm. RedSafe™ Nucleic Acid Staining Solution for nucleic acids (20,000x) is as sensitive as BrEt.
