Thermo Scientific™ DNA Gel Loading Dye (6X) is designed for preparing DNA samples and markers for agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This ready-to-use dye contains two visible tracking dyes—bromophenol blue and xylene cyanol FF—that allow real-time monitoring of DNA migration during electrophoresis. The inclusion of glycerol ensures proper sample settling into wells, while EDTA protects DNA integrity by chelating divalent metal ions and inhibiting metal-dependent nucleases.
Key Features
- Two-Color Tracking – Bromophenol blue and xylene cyanol provide clear migration visualization.
- Protective Additive – EDTA prevents DNA degradation by inactivating metal-dependent nucleases.
- Efficient Sample Loading – Glycerol facilitates proper layering of DNA samples at the bottom of wells.
- No DNA Masking – Compatible with UV light exposure without interfering with DNA visualization.
- Ready-to-Use – Convenient 6X concentrated format for direct sample preparation.
Applications
- Preparation of DNA markers, ladders, and samples for electrophoresis.
- DNA analysis using agarose or polyacrylamide gels.
- Tracking DNA migration during electrophoresis runs.
- Suitable for conventional molecular biology workflows.
