Molecular Biology Specifications:
Recommended Use: Ethidium Bromide can be used to detect both single-and-double stranded nucleic acids (both DNA and RNA). However, Ethidium Bromide does not intercollate into single-stranded DNA very well. Therefore, the fluorescence of single-stranded DNA is relatively poor in comparison to double-stranded DNA. Protocol: The recommended final concentration of Ethidium Bromide in agarose gels and electrophoresis buffers is 0.5 ug/mL. Storage: Store at room temperature. Protect from moisture. Warning: Poison/Suspected mutagen. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Do not take internally. Wash thoroughly with water after handling.
