Midori Green Agarose Tablets: The All-in-One Safe Gel Solution
Midori Green Agarose Tablets combine the safety of a non-carcinogenic nucleic acid stain with the convenience of pre-weighed agarose. Designed to streamline the electrophoresis workflow, these tablets eliminate the need for handling toxic ethidium bromide or measuring powder. The product line includes options with integrated buffers (TAE or TBE) or pure agarose plus stain, catering to various laboratory preferences.
The embedded Midori Green stain (available in ‘Advance’ or ‘Xtra’ formulations) offers sensitivity comparable to Ethidium Bromide but without the mutagenic risks. Midori Green Advance is a versatile choice for UV and Blue LED light, while Midori Green Xtra is optimised for Blue/Green LED technology, delivering an ultra-high signal-to-noise ratio. The tablets dissolve rapidly, creating a homogeneous gel that delivers sharp, crisp bands with minimal background fluorescence.
Key Benefits:
- Maximum Safety: Non-Carcinogenic. Independent testing confirms Midori Green is non-mutagenic and safe for disposal in regular laboratory waste.
- Ultimate Convenience: Just Add Water/Buffer. Tablets remove the need for weighing agarose or pipetting stains. TBE/TAE versions require only distilled water.
- High Sensitivity: Crisp Visualisation. Detects low concentrations of nucleic acids with high clarity; ‘Xtra’ version specifically optimised for LED transilluminators.
- Workflow Efficiency: Fast Dissolving. Tablets dissolve quickly in heated solvent, significantly reducing gel preparation time.
