Nucleic acid gel stains are inherently dangerous because of their potential to cause genetic mutation. Few would dispute that one of the best ways to reduce or eliminate their toxicity is to prevent the dyes from entering the cells in the first place. But the challenge is: How do you do it without compromising performance? The answer is innovation. GelRed™ and GelGreen™ are patented breakthrough nucleic acid gel stains and the only gel stains that offer the combination of: 1) cell membrane impermeability for true safety;* 2) unrivaled sensitivity; 3) perfect instrument compatibility; 4) superior stability; and 5) compatibility with all downstream manipulations.
