 agarose gels are precast bufferless gels with electrodes embedded in the agarose matrix. Each

gel contains an ion generating system, a pH balancing system, and DNA stain packaged inside a
transparent plastic cassette. Each gel cassette contains two ion exchange matrices (IEMs) that are in
contact with the gel and electrodes. The IEMs supply a continuous flow of ions throughout the gel
resulting in a sustained electric field required for running the gel.

 Safe DNA gel stain

SYBR

 Safe DNA gel stain has been specifically developed for reduced mutagenicity, making it safer

than ethidium bromide for staining DNA in agarose gels. The detection sensitivity of E

Safe DNA gel stain can be detected by standard UV transillumination, visible-light transillumination, or
laser-scanning.

Disposal

SYBR

 Safe DNA gel stain is not classified as hazardous waste, but because disposal regulations vary,

please contact your safety office or local municipality for appropriate SYBR
