Fermentas 6X DNA Loading Dye R0611

Features

Two-color tracking of DNA migration during electrophoresis.
No DNA masking during gel exposure to UV light.
EDTA binds divalent metal ions and inhibits metal dependent nucleases.
Applications

Preparation of DNA ladders, markers and samples for loading on agarose or polyacrylamide gels.
Description
6X DNA Loading Dye is used to prepare DNA markers and samples for loading on agarose or polyacrylamide gels. It contains two different dyes (bromophenol blue and xylene cyanol FF) for visual tracking of DNA migration during electrophoresis. The presence of glycerol ensures that the DNA in the ladder and sample forms a layer at the bottom of the well. The EDTA included in the solution binds divalent metal ions and inhibits metal-dependent nucleases.

6X DNA Loading Dye is used for conventional DNA electrophoresis (see recommendations for use).

Quality Control
Tested for DNA sample preparation prior to agarose gel electrophoresis. The absence of deoxyribonucleases confirmed by appropriate tests.
