Visafe red and Green
ViSafe Red Gel Stain for Vü
and ViSafe Green Gel Stain for Vü
are stable, sensitive and environmentally safe fluorescent nucleic acid dye for staining double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), single- stranded DNA (ssDNA) or RNA in agarose gels or polyacrylamide gels.
Both green/red gel stain and EtBr have the same spectra, so the ViSafe Red for Vü and Green Gel Stain for Vü are able to replace Ethidium Bromide (EtBr) without changing existing imaging system.
ViSafe Red for Vü and Green Gel Stain for Vü are designed to replace the highly toxic ethidium bromide (EtBr). The dyes are confirmed by Ames test results that they are impenetrable to latex gloves and cell membranes. By using the suggested working concentrations in gel staining, the dyes are proven unable to cross cell membranes; and they are noncytotoxic and nonmutagenic at working concentrations.
FEATURES
Safer
Noncytotoxic & nonmutagenic shown by Ames tests
Higher sensitivity
More sensitive compared to EtBr or SYBR® Green
Extremely stable
Stable at room temperature for long-term storage. Stable to be microwaved or heated. The working solution is stable at room temperature when kept in dark.
Wide application
Suitable to stain dsDNA, ssDNA and RNA. Suitable to use in agarose gel or polyacrylamide gel. Compatible with downstream applications, such as gel recovery and cloning.
Easy staining protocols
Easy precast gel staining& post-staining procedures
Compatible with Vü-F imaging system
Both ViSafe Red for Vü
and ViSafe Green for Vü
are recommended for use with the Vü-F imaging system using Blue illumination.
