Actgene, Inc. HydraGreen™ Safe DNA Dye 1ml, 20,000x in Water

Non-carcinogenic alternatives to the ubiquitous Ethidium bromide. HydraGreen™ was developed to provide a safe alternative to Ethidium bromide for the visualization of DNA and RNA. HydraGreen™ is added to the agarose or to staining buffer and provide the same sensitivity as Ethidium bromide.

• Non-mutagenic, safe, environmentally friendly alternative; Water based, without DMSO
• Standard UV transilluminator or non-UV LED illuminators and any filter compatibility
• High level sensitivity closely matching Ethidium Bromide, exceptional signal : noise ratio
• No cost easy disposal: discard down the sink

Characteristics 

Through the following tests, it is proved that there is no cancer risk

1. Ames test; 2. Mouse bone marrow micronucleus test; 3. Chromosome aberration test; 4. Penetration test of latex or nitrile gloves.

High sensitivity: it is suitable for electrophoretic staining of various size fragments and has little effect on nucleic acid migration;

High stability: suitable for preparing agarose gel by microwave or other heating methods;

High signal-to-noise ratio: sample fluorescence signal is strong, background signal is low;

Simple operation: no degradation in the process of prepreg and electrophoresis;

Wide range of application: pre electrophoresis dyeing (gel dyeing) or post electrophoresis dyeing (bubble dyeing) can be selected.
