GreenView™ Plus DNA Gel Stain

GreenView™ Plus is a highly sensitive fluorescent stain for detecting nucleic acids in agarose and polyacrylamide gels. This single stain gives high sensitivity detection of double-stranded or single-stranded DNA and RNA. Gels can be post-stained or alternatively the stain can be added to agarose gels during gel casting. GreenView™ Plus is compatible with a standard 300 nm transilluminator, a 254 nm transilluminator, a blue-light transilluminator, or a gel reader equipped with visible light excitation such as a 488 nm laser-based gel scanner. The product is supplied as a 10,000X concentrated solution. It can be diluted 10,000 times for use in precast gel staining or 5,000 times for use in post gel staining. Gel staining with GreenView™ Plus is compatible with downstream applications such as gel extraction and cloning. The dye can be efficiently removed from DNA by phenol/chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation.
