Offering better sensitivity than EtBr, our SmartGlow™ Loading Dye with Stain for Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis Gels is the smart and safe choice for your lab.
Unlike other safe dyes, SmartGlow™ excites in BOTH the UV and Blue light (Blue LED) spectrum.
SmartGlow™ Loading Dye is supplied at 6X concentration, and only needs to be added to the samples before pipetting into the gel wells. This method eliminates the possibility of contamination of glassware, plasticware, and the gel running tank as can happen with EtBr.
Using SmartGlow™ Loading Dye, it is not required to add any stain to the gel or running buffer.
After electrophoretic separation, view and document your results using a UV or Blue Light Illuminator.
This item must ship cold and follows our cold ship policy which you can read here.
