Safe-Pinky DNA Gel Staining Solution is a ready-to-use solution that can be used directly for post gel staining without the need for further dilution. This solution is a sensitive, stable and environmentally safe fluorescent nucleic acid dye designed to replacethe highly toxic ethidium bromide (Et-Br) for staining dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA in agarose gels or polyacrylamide gels. Safe-Pinky DNA Gel Staining Solution is far more sensitive than Et-Br without requiring a destaining step. Safe-Pinky DNA Gel Staining Solution and Et-Br have virtually the same spectra, so you can directly replace Et-Br with Safe-Pinky DNA Gel Staining Solution without changing your existing imaging system. If you use a green fluorescent gel stain such as SYBR Green I, SYBR Safe or GelStar with a UV transilluminator for viewing gels, you may replace the dye and continue to use the existing SYBR filter or GelStar filter for photographing. However, Safe-Pinky DNA Gel Staining Solution can not be sufficiently excited with a 488 nm argon laser or similar visible light and therefore is not recommended for use with a gel reader equipped with such visible light.
