Fluorescent DNA/RNA Stain for Gel Electrophoresis & Nucleic Acid Visualization
VWR Ethidium Bromide (EtBr) Stock Solution is a 10 mg/mL solution of high-purity EtBr in deionized water, used as a fluorescent intercalating dye for nucleic acid staining. It is the gold standard for detecting DNA and RNA in agarose or acrylamide gels under UV illumination. This solution is ready-to-use and ideal for molecular biology protocols requiring high sensitivity and reliable band visualization.
Key Features
- Biotechnology Grade Purity (≥98%)
- Pre-diluted 10 mg/mL stock solution – Ready for immediate use
- Highly Sensitive – Detects as little as 10 ng of DNA
- No RNase or DNase contamination – Ideal for molecular applications
- Long shelf life – Stable at ambient temperature
