Description
QuickView™ is a new and safe class of nucleic acid stain for the visualization of double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA, and RNA in agarose gels. The dyes are developed to replace Ethidium Bromide (EtBr, a potent mutagen), commonly used in gel electrophoresis for visualization of nucleic acids in agarose gels.
QuickView™ is non-carcinogenic by the Ames-test. The results are negative in both the mouse marrow chromophilous erythrocyte
micronucleus and mouse spermary spermatocyte chromosomal aberration tests.
QuickView™ Classic is used the same way as EtBr in agarose gel electrophoresis. This stain emits green fluorescence and has an excitation of ~500 nm and emission of ~533 nm.
•Easy to Use: Provided as a 10,000X stock and compatible with both blue light (optimal) and UV light (weaker).
•Safe: Non-carcinogenic.
•Sensitive: Detect as little as 1-2 ng of DNA per gel band.
•Superior: Compatible with downstream applications such as cloning and sequencing.
