DNAzure® Blue Gel Stain allows you to visualize DNA bands in gels by eye, with detection sensitivity rivaling most fluorescence-based gel stains. Key to the technology is a DNA-binding dye that turns from colorless to deep blue upon exposure to light. The benefits include: deep blue bands visible by the naked eye following 5-30 min. light exposure, ultrasensitive detection (as little as ~1 ng DNA), and simplified DNA band excision without DNA-damaging UV Light.
