Midori Green Advance DNA Stain (Sufficient for 1000ml Agarose Gel)
Safe stain for visualization of double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA, and RNA in agarose gels
Midori Green Advance DNA Stain was developed to offer a non carcinogenic and less mutagenic dye for agarose electrophoresis. Besides these positive health benefits, this dye shows a very high sensitivity even for small fragments as well as a superior signal to noise ratio.
Midori Green Advance DNA Stain is a safe alternative to using ethidium bromide for staining DNA or RNA in agarose gels. Unlike the carcinogenic ethidium bromide, Midori Green Advance DNA is non-carcinogenic and non-toxic . It can also be used with UV light as well as with Blue and Blue/Green LED technology
The next generation of DNA staining
Midori Green Advance is a second generation non-carcinogenic DNA dye. Excitation of DNA or RNA can be made possible with both with UV light and with Blue / Green LED technology. By using a blue / green LED transilluminator, even better results can be achieved compared to ethidium bromide ( Fig. 1 ).

Midori Green Advance has a very high sensitivity even for very small DNA fragments. For this reason, it can be used with a very high dilution factor of 1: 25,000. 4-5 µL Midori Green Advance is sufficient to stain 100 mL agarose gel, this corresponds to up to 25 liters of stained agarose with only one ml of Midori Green Advance.
Safe alternative
Midori Green Advance, like ethidium bromide, delivers very strong DNA signals with a high intensity. In contrast to the carcinogenic and toxic ethidium bromide, Midori Green Advance is not harmful to the user or the environment. Several independent tests have confirmed the safety aspects of Midori Green Advance:
