SERVA DNA Stain Clear G is a new, non-carcinogenic, much more sensitive and convenient version of our SERVA DNA Stain G. It can be used instead of highly carcinogenic ethidium bromide for detecting nucleic acids in agarose gels.
SERVA DNA Stain Clear G emits green fluorescence when bound to DNA or RNA. It has two secondary fluorescence excitation peaks (ca. 270 nm and 295 nm) and one strong excitation peak centered around 490 nm. The fluorescence emission is similar to EtBr at ca. 530 nm when bound to nucleic acid.
Pre-casting and post-staining protocols are applicable.
1 ml of this stain is sufficient for 17 - 25 L of agarose gel.
