GR Safe I Nucleic Acid Gel Stain, 10,000X in Water Catalog #: IV-1001 http://www.labsupplymall.com Store at 4 oC or Room Temperature without UV light using blue light Introduction transilluminator. GR Safe I is a new, safe nucleic acid stain for detecting double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA, and RNA in agarose gel. It can be used for replacing mutagenic ethidium bromide (EB). GR Safe emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA and red fluorescence when bound to ssDNA or RNA. This new stain has two fluorescence excitation maxima when bound to nucleic acid, one centered at approximately 290 nm and one at approximately 490nm. GR Safe is as sensitive as EB, and much cheaper than SYBR Green, SYBR Gold and SYBR Safe, and you can use GR Safe just as the way you used EB. Cut out DNA bands for subclonning under safer blue light: No mutations caused by EB and UV light. Compared to EB which is a very strong mutagen, GR Safe caused very few mutations in the Ames test. In addition, GR Safe had a negative result in mouse marrow chromophilous erythrocyte micronucleus test and mouse spermary spermatocyte chromosomal aberration test. Available at 10,000X in H2O for better safety No more toxic and flammable organic solvent Room temperature storage for better convenience, stable at room temperature for years --No more freeze-and-thaw cycle! Fig. 1, Comparison of GR Safe II with EtBr. Top: GR Safe I. Bottom: EtBr. Storage: Store at room temperature. Sensitivity is comparable to Ethidium Bromide and SYBR Safe. Disposal: Add GR Safe to warm agarose gel solution as you did with ethidium bromide before--No need to do lengthy post electrophoresis staining, save your valuable time.. Gel: Biosafety trash bag. TAE, TBE or Sodium Borate Buffers: sink or consult a chemical safety officer at your institution. Compatible with UV transilluminator and documentation systems. Protocol: Will not affect downstream experiments: compatible with all gel purification kits tested, will not inhibit ligation reaction etc. Compatible with Sodium Borate Electrophoresis Buffer: Run gel 2-3 times faster at higher voltage, resolve shaper bands in minutes, and less heat generation. or blue common light gel Watch DNA migrate at your bench, in real-time 1. Prepare 40 ml of agarose gel solution (concentration from 0.8~2.0%) with TAE or Borate Buffer in a 250 ml flask and mix it thoroughly. Place the flask in the microware, heat on high until the solution is completely clear and no small floating particles are visible (about 2~3 minutes). 2. After the gel solution cool to about 55 oC, add 1 to 4 µl of GR Safe to the solution.

Pour the gel solution into a gel tray until the comb teeth are immersed about 1/4~1/2 into the gel solution. Visi-Blue Converter Plate. 21Wx26Lcm. Designed to convert UV light to 480nm blue light for use with GR Safe, SYBR Green, SYPRO Orange and EGFP stains. Scratch resistant blue Plexiglas surface is safety fused into metal frame for durability. For UVP transilluminators. 4. After the agarose gel has solidified you can perform electrophoresis using either 1X TAE or 1X Borate Buffer (Available from http://www.labsupplymall.com). 6, Is is safer than SYBR Safe? 5. Detect the bands using UV or blue light transilluminator. It is safer than SYBR Safe. FAQ 7, Is it more sensitive than SYBR Safe? 1, What filter should I use for blue light transilluminator? Similar. Amber filter. You can buy it from www.bhphotovideo.com, www.adorama.com, www.ritzcamera.com or www.wolfcamera.com 2, Where to buy a blue light transilluminator? Labsupplymall.com 3, Where to buy blue light LED (torch) for monitoring gel and cutting DNA band from gel? Ebay, Ebay Motors or other on-line stores 4, I got high background, what should I do? Use less GR Safe, e.g., 1 µl/per 100 ml gel solution 5, Can I use UV transilluminator? Yes. You can also convert UV transilluminator to Blue light transilluminator using a UVP VISIBLUE CONVRTR PLATE, 21X26 cm. ©Copyright Lab Supply Mall, InnoVita Inc 847 Quince Orchard Blvd, Suite H, Gaithersburg, MD, 20878, USA Phone: 888-666-0968 Fax: 301-208-0536 2
