Description
ExcelDye™ 6X DNA Loading Dye, Blue is a ready-to-use loading buffer for preparing and tracking DNA samples during agarose or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
The formulation contains xylene cyanol FF and bromophenol blue for dual-position migration tracking, glycerol to help samples settle into wells and EDTA to inhibit metal-dependent nuclease activity.
Key Features: 6X concentrated formulation • Dual-colour tracking system • Xylene cyanol FF and bromophenol blue • Tracks medium- and high-molecular-weight regions • Agarose and PAGE compatible • Contains glycerol and EDTA • Non-fluorescent • Two 5 mL bottles
Applications: DNA Sample Preparation • Agarose Gel Electrophoresis • DNA Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis • PCR Product Analysis • Restriction Digest Analysis • DNA Fragment Analysis
Compatibility: Suitable for DNA samples analysed using agarose or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This product is a loading and tracking dye and does not contain a fluorescent DNA-binding stain.
Packaging: Two 5 mL bottles, providing a total volume of 10 mL.
Manufacturer: SMOBIO Technology
