Helixyte™ Green Nucleic Acid Gel Stain
10,000X DMSO Solution
Helixyte™ Green is manufactured by AAT Bioquest, and it has the same chemical structure of SYBR® Green (SYBR® is the trademark of ThermoFisher). Helixyte™ Green is an excellent nucleic acid gel stain. It has the same spectral properties to those of SYBR® Green, thus a great replacement to SYBR® Green (SYBR® Green is the trademark of ThermoFisher). It is one of the most sensitive stains available for detecting double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in agarose and polyacrylamide gels. Helixyte™ Green has much greater sensitivity for dsDNA, thus especially useful for assays where the presence of contaminating RNA or ssDNA might obscure results. Helixyte™ Green stain is ideal for use with laser scanners with the same instrument settings of SYBR Green. Helixyte™ Green is much more sensitive than ethidium bromide for DNA in agarose gels. The gels soaked in diluted Helixyte™ Green stain can be visualized without desalting. It is compatible with UV transilluminators, gel documentation systems, and laser scanners.
160 ng of 1 Kb Plus DNA Ladder (ThermoFisher 10787018) in 0.9% agarose/TBE electrophoresis gel were stained with Helixyte™ Green and SYBR® Green and imaged with 254-nm UV transilluminator using UVP Bioimaging System.
