FroggaStain Plus, Nucleic Acid Stain
Description
NEW FroggaStain is a safe nucleic acid staining solution for visualization of double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA, and RNA in agarose gels. Developed to replace toxic ethidium bromide (EtBr) which is a potent mutagen commonly used in gel electrophoresis for visualization of nucleic acids in agarose gels. FroggaStain is safe and non-carcinogenic by the Ames-test. The results are negative in both the mouse marrow chromophilous erthrocyte micronucleus and mouse spermary spermatocyte chromosomal aberration tests.
FroggaStain emits green fluorescence when bound to DNA. It has two excitation wavelength peaks when bound to nucleic acid, at 267nm and 294nm. The emission wavelength for the DNA SafeStain is 530nm.
Speacial Features:
- Detection of DNA and RNA
- Safe DNA stain
- Low cost
