Accuris SmartGlow™ DNA Stains

Ideal for excitation of nucleic acids with UV or visible blue light transilluminators.

Unlike Ember, SmartGlow is non mutagenic and does not require special methods of disposal.

SmartGlow™ LD (Loading Dye) is supplied at 6X concentration and is added directly to the samples. No dye needs to be added to the gel or running buffer. After electrophoretic separation, view and document your results using a UV or blue light illuminator. SmartGlow™ LD emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA, ssDNA and RNA.

SmartGlowTM PS (Pre Stain) can be used as a direct replacement for Ethidium Bromide in agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The stain emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA or ssDNA and emits red fluorescence when bound to RNA. SmartGlow PS exhibits excitation peaks at 290 and 490 nm, allowing it to be used with UV and blue light.
