proACE™ Green DNA Stain

proACE™ Green DNA Stain is a new and safe alternative to ethidium bromide (EtBr) for the visualization of DNA (double-stranded and single-stranded DNA) and RNA in agarose and polyacrylamide gels. The dye has been developed for in-gel staining and post-staining and is compatible with both UV and Blue LED transilluminators.

Properties:
proACE™ Green DNA Stain has fluorescence excitation wavelengths in the UV range (~270nm; ~290nm) and in the blue/green light range (470-488nm and 510-514nm). Maximum fluorescence emission is at 527-533nm (green). Therefore, proACE™ Green DNA Stain is compatible with a large variety of gel documentation systems. Yellow/orange filters should be used for photography.

Sensitivity:
The detection limit of proACE™ Green DNA Stain is in the range of 0.5-2.0 ng/band (depending on agarose type and percentage, thickness of the gel, electrophoresis buffer, transilluminator, photo camera quality and settings, etc). proACE™ Green DNA Stain is also suitable for post-staining.

Safety:
proACE™ Green DNA Stain is non-mutagenic as determined by the Ames-test. Moreover, genotoxicity analysis shows negative results for both the mouse marrow chromophilous erythrocyte micronucleus test and mouse spermatocyte chromosomal aberration test. The complete safety report can be found on the product page at our website. proACE™ Green DNA Stain is non-hazardous; however, one should always exercise common safe laboratory practices. Use goggles and gloves as proACE™ Green DNA Stain may cause skin or eye irritations.
