Azura SmartStain™ Loading Dye 1mL, 6X

Azura SmartStain is a safe alternative to EtBr that exhibits excitation peaks at 290 nm & 490 nm, allowing it to be used with UV and blue light. SmartStain PS (Pre-Stain) can be used as a direct replacement for Ethidium Bromide in agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The stain emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA or ssDNA and emits red fluorescence when bound to RNA. SmartStain PS exhibits excitation peaks at 290 nm and 490 nm, allowing it to be used with UV and blue light. SmartStain LD (Loading Dye) is supplied at 6X concentration and is added directly to the samples. No dye needs to be added to the gel or running buffer. After electrophoretic separation, view and document your results using a UV or blue light illuminator. SmartStain LD emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA, ssDNA and RNA.

• Application: Nucleic acid electrophoresis (analytical & preparative)
• Convenience: Exhibits excitation peaks at 290 nm & 490 nm, allowing for use with both UV or blue light transilluminators
• Sensitive: Enhanced sensitivity compared to EtBr, detect as little as 0.1 ng of DNA
