Dyes & Stains

Biolit SafeDye is a new, safe nucleic acid stain for the detection of double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA and RNA in Agarose gel.This dye replaces Ethidium Bromide (toxic, potential mutagen) for visualization of DNA or RNA in Agarose gel.

Biolit Flurobronze stain is a non-carcinogenic nucleic acid stain that is eco-friendly and replaces the use of ethidium bromide. Used for viewing nucleic acids on agarose gel. The advantage here is the stain is not added to the gel matrix or the running buffers, but is mixed as a 6X loading buffer with the nucleic acid samples prior to loading on to the gel. This significantly reduces possible contamination of glassware and gel running tank. After electrophoresis the results can viewed and documented as is done with ethidium bromide.

SafeDye Green Stain is a non carcinogenic and non toxic alternative to ethidium bromide. The 20000x stain is supplied in water. The safedye green stain has a fluorescence excitation maxima at 295nm and 490nm.The fluorescence emission maxima is similar to ethidium bromide when bound to DNA at 530nm.
