Introduction:

CodexGreen DNA Gel Stain is a highly sensitive fluorescent stain for detecting nucleic acids in

agarose and polyacrylamide gels. This non-toxic stain gives high sensitivity detection of dsDNA

or ssDNA and RNA. Gels can be post-stained, alternatively, the stain can be added to agarose

gels during gel casting. CodexGreen DNA Gel Stain is compatible with a standard 300 nm

transilluminator, a 254 nm transilluminator, a blue-light transilluminator, or a gel reader equipped

with visible light excitation such as a 488 nm laserbased gel scanner. It is a 10,000 X

concentrated solution that can be diluted 10,000 times for use in precast gel staining or 5,000

times for use in post gel staining according to the procedures described below.
