GelRed is a superior red fluorescent nucleic acid dye specifically designed for both precast and post gel staining. It has a combination of desirable properties that no other commercial nucleic acid gel stains possess: high sensitivity, extraordinary stability, low toxicity and versatility. Benefits include: Superior Sensitivity - The most sensitive and robust nucleic acid gel stain. Unsurpassed Thermal Stability, Hydrolytical Stability and Photostability - Can be microwaved or subjected to other similar heating procedures for making agarose gels; stable in alkaline or acidic buffers at room temperature; highly photostable. Improved Safety - Shown to be much less mutagenic than ethidium bromide by Ames test. Ultimate Flexibility - Can be used for either precast or post gel staining; for either agarose gels or polyacrylamide gels; and for either dsDNA orssDNA or RNA. Simple Staining Procedure - Prepare and run precast gels as with EB without having to worry about dye stability; and takes as little as 30 minutes for post staining without the need for destaining. Minimal Effect on DNA Migration Pattern - DNA migration pattern in GelRed precast gels similar to that in gels without dyes. No Need for Filter Change - Works perfectly well with either a standard EB filter or a SYBR filter. Perfect Compatibility with a Standard 300 nm UV Transilluminator - Maximally excited at around 300 nm UV. A series of safety tests have confirmed that GelRed is noncytotoxic, nonmutagenic and nonhazardous at concentrations well above the working concentrations used in gel staining. As a result, GelRed can be safely disposed of down the drain or in regular trash, providing convenience and reducing cost in waste disposal. For quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), please use one of the EvaGreen dyes, catalogue numbers BT31000 & BT31001
