PR1MA™ SmartGlow™ DNA Safe Stain

• Replaces hazardous Ethidium Bromide (EtBr)
• Better sensitivity than EtBr
• Detect as little as 0.1ng of DNA
• Two types available
• PS Pre Stain
• LD Loading Dye
• Excitation by UV light or blue light
• Compatible with Accuris SmartBlue™ Transilluminator
• Ships at ambient temperature (stored at 4°C)

PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS (Pre-Stain) can be used as a direct replacement for Ethidium Bromide in agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The stain emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA or ssDNA and emits red fluorescence when bound to RNA. PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS exhibits excitation peaks at 290 nm and 490 nm, allowing it to be used with UV and blue light.

Protocol:

• Prepare 100 mL of agarose or polyacrylamide solution.
• Add 5 uL of PR1MA™ SmartStain™ to the gel solution before pouring gels.
• For enhanced results, add PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS to the running buffer at a ratio of 5 uL per 100 mL. Adding PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS to the running buffer will result in increased sensitivity and better detection of small quantities of nucleic acid.
• After electrophoresis is complete, view the gel using a UV or blue light illuminator
