Product Introduction
DSRed is a sensitive, stable and non-toxic fluorescent nucleic acid dye for staining nucleic acids (dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA) in agarose gels and polyacrylamide gels. DSRed has a sensitivity higher than EB (Ethyl Bromide). DSRed binds nucleic acid molecules by intercalation, and is nonmutagenic at working concentrations, is safer and more environment-friendly than EB.
Safety Description: This product has a special molecular structure and cannot pass through cell membranes or latex gloves. This product has passed biosecurity tests, is nonmutagenic at working concentrations. And it is environmentally safe and can be dumped directly into sewers.
