AMRESCO’s EZ-Vision® Bluelight DNA dye is a sensitive, non-mutagenic and environmentally safe fluorescent DNA dye specifically designed for gel staining. As little as 1-2 ng of DNA can be detected with EZ-Vision® Bluelight DNA dye. The dye is compatible either with a UV transilluminator or a gel reader equipped with blue light excitation (such as a blue LED gel imaging system or a Dark Reader® ).
EZ-Vision® Bluelight DNA dye was subjected to tests by independent testing services to assess the dye’s safety for routine handling and disposal. The mutagenicity of EZ-Vision® Bluelight DNA dye was determined by Ames testing of S. typhimurium with and without metabolic activation with an S-9 activation system. No increase in His+ revertants was obtained compared to controls. EZ-Vision® Bluelight DNA dye successfully passed environmental safety testing in compliance with CCR Title 22 Hazardous Waste Characterization, under which EZ-Vision® Bluelight DNA dye is classified as non-hazardous waste. A complete safety report is available at http://www.amresco-inc.com.
EZ-Vision® Bluelight DNA dye, 10,000X, is a concentrated solution that can be diluted 10,000 times for use in either precast or post gel staining. One vial (0.5 mL) of 10,000X solution can be used to prepare at least 100 precast or post-stain 100 mini-gels.
Gel staining with EZ-Vision® Bluelight DNA dye is compatible with downstream applications such as gel extraction and cloning.
