Safe Red (RM19009)

Safe Red is an ultra-safe, highly sensitive, and highly stable fluorescent nucleic acid stain provided at 10, 000X concentration. It is compatible with commonly used electrophoresis buffer solutions such as TAE, TBE, and RRB (rapid electrophoresis buffer) and has greater detection sensitivity than ethidium bromide (EB) in agarose gel electrophoresis. Safe Red has a large molecular weight (~1240 g/mol) and is unable to penetrate cell membranes, rending it non-mutagenic and thus preferred for safety during handling and ease of disposal. Safe Red is suitable for the ultraviolet gel imaging as a perfect replacement for EB, displaying strong excitation at 250~300 nm.
