MIDORI Green Direct Nucleic Acid Staining Solution, Bulldog-bio - 1ml - 102407-970(MG06)

Midori Green Direct — Safe DNA Stain, Add to sample before loading.

MIDORI Green Direct is a specially constructed fluorescent molecule that you add to your sample, not into the gel or the buffer. It will bind and label nucleic acid fragments (DNA or RNA) as they separate and resolve during a standard electrophoresis run. These labeled molecules will shine brightly against a near-black background. By comparison, nucleic acid stains that are added to molten agarose (before the gel is cast) often have a “two-tone look” as free dye moves in the reverse direction of the DNA fragments and causes the bottom of the gel to be much darker than the top. Many labs prefer MIDORI Green Direct when sensitivity of detection or ease of use are important considerations.

MIDORI Green Direct is provided in a format of 10X sample loading dyes and is designed to be added “directly” to your samples. You do not need to add it, or any other dyes, to the gel matrix or to the running buffers. A 1 mL tube is enough for 1,000 to 2,000 samples (lanes).
