Midori Green Xtra DNA Stain

MIDORI^Green  Xtra DNA Stain

Latest generation Non-carcinogenic DNA stain– Ultra-sensitive for Blue and Blue/Green LED illumination MIDORI^Green Xtra is a new highly sensitive green fluorescent stain for a safe visualization of DNA and RNA in agarose gels. This DNA stain is a safe and better alternative to the traditional nucleic acid stain ethidium bromide (EtBr). Agarose gels stained with MIDORI^Green Xtra have a very low background fluorescence, which makes the identification of low amounts of DNA very easy. Simply add 2-4µL to 50ml agarose gel solution and mix well before allowing the gel to set.  

Ultra-sensitive DNA signals and low background – Just a perfect signal

MIDORI^Green Xtra is optimized for Blue/Green and Blue LED light, leading to unbeatable fluorescence signals of DNA and RNA in agarose gels. In addition, UV-light is also suitable for the detection of nucleic acid, but less efficient than non-damaging visible light. Remarkably, MIDORI^Green Xtra did not stain the agarose gel, leading to an excellent signal to noise ratio.

Safe Alternative to Ethidium Bromide

MIDORI^Green Xtra delivers even better DNA/RNA signals than ethidium bromide. However, this innovative DNA stain is non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic and non-toxic and therefore not harmful for your health. Independent laboratories confirmed its safety: Both the mutagenicity test (ames test) and the cytotoxicity test were negative.
