Product Description
ETHIDIUM BROMIDE 98% AR is a highly pure nucleic acid staining agent used in molecular biology applications. This odorless dark red to brown powdered or crystalline solid is primarily utilized in agarose gel electrophoresis to visualize DNA or RNA under UV light. With a purity of 98%, it exhibits neutral to slightly acidic pH levels and a shelf life of 2 years when stored correctly. Its intercalation property with DNA and high fluorescence under UV light make it a reliable choice for research purposes. This poisonous compound should be handled with care and stored in a tightly closed container away from light at room temperature.
