Chembio® Safe-Detect : Safe and Sensitive nucleic acid gel stains 

Ethidiumbromide (EtBr) is most commonly used nucleic acid stain in molecular biology laboratories.

EtBr has been proved to be strong carcinogen and therefore considered hazardous for laboratory personnel and environment.

Chembio® Safe-Detect(x20,000, in water) is a non-carcinogenic and non-toxic alternative to EtBr used for the detection of nucleic acids in agarose gels. It is as sensitive as EtBr. Chembio® Safe-Detect has fluorescence excitation maximum at 295nm and 490nm.

The fluorescence emission is similar to EtBr when bound to DNA at 530nm.
