Nippon Genetics MIDORI Green Direct DNA/RNA Stain - 1mL

MIDORI^Green Direct is a safe alternative to ethidium bromide for visualisation of double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA, and RNA in agarose gels. In contrast to most other non-ethidium bromide based dyes, MIDORI^Green Direct is just added to your samples. The loading dye is already included. You do not need to add any other loading dye to both gel matrix and running buffers.

The direct staining of the DNA rather than the gel eliminates the background staining providing a perfect signal. MIDORI^Green Direct was developed to work with blue light LED illuminators, but you can also use it with a regular UV transilluminator. The isolation of DNA from agarose gels enables downstream applications. It is well known that many dyes, such as ethidium bromide or even SYBR™ Green are strong enzyme inhibitors due to their intercalating properties. MIDORI^Green dyes bind to the DNA backbone. This results in a much higher efficiency for downstream applications, i.e. cloning, sequencing, PCR, etc.
