Gelite™ Orange Nucleic Acid Gel Staining Kit

Gelite™ Orange is an extremely sensitive nucleic acid gel stain for detecting DNA or RNA in gels using a standard 300 nm UV transilluminator and Polaroid 667 black-and-white print film. As with Helixyte™ Green stain, this remarkable sensitivity can be attributed to a combination of unique dye characteristics. Because the nucleic acid-bound Gelite™ Orange dye exhibits excitation maxima at both ~495 nm and ~300 nm (the emission maximum is ~537 nm), it is compatible with a wide variety of instrumentation, ranging from UV epi- and transilluminators and blue-light transilluminators, to mercury-arc lamp- and argon-ion laser-based gel scanners. Our Gelite™ Orange Nucleic Acid Gel Staining Gel Kit includes our Gelite™ Orange nucleic acid stain with an optimized and robust protocol. It provides a convenient solution for staining nucleic acid samples in gels.
