SYBR Safe Gel Dye is a new nucleic acid dye produced as an alternative to traditional ethidium bromide (EB) dyeing to display nucleic acids in agarose gel. This dye emits green fluorescent radiation when bound to DNA or RNA. SYBR Safe Gel dye stimulates a maximum of two fluorescents. When linked to nucleic acid, one is centered at 267 nm and the other at 294 nm. In addition, the paint emits visible radiation at 491 nm. SYBR Safe Gel Paint makes fluorescent radiation at 530 nm when it is attached to DNA.
Reliable; Does not contain toxic or carcinogenic substances
High precision; Highly sensitive staining to display DNA on agarose or acrylamide gel
Practical; Ready to use, able to take images with blue light or UV radiation, connect to RNA as well as DNA
