MIDORI Green Easy DNA Stain - Safety Report

Ethidium bromide (EB) is most commonly used nucleic acid stain in molecular biology laboratories. It has been proved to be strong carcinogen and therefore considered hazardous for laboratory personnel and environment. MidoriGreen Easy DNA Stain is a nucleic acid stain which can be used as a safe alternative to the traditional Ethidium bromide (EB) stain for detecting nucleic acid in agarose gels. It is flexible in use for both in-gel and post staining. MidoriGreen Easy is as sensitive as EB and can be used in the exact same way for agarose gel electrophoresis as EB. With this report, we will show that MidoriGreen Easy is safe for the user and the DNA dye is also not dangerous for the environment. Since this dye can be used with Blue/Green LED light or blue light instead of UV light for DNA visualization, it is also harmless to your experiments. Moreover, it does not interfere with downstream applications.
