MIDORIGreen Easy – Non-carcinogenic DNA stain of the latest generation – Ultra-sensitive for LED illumination
Excellent signal quality
We developed MIDORIGreen Easy to have the same excellent signal quality and low background as MIDORIGreen Xtra. It is also unbeatable with visible excitation light and shows the best results with our Blue/Green LED technology. The bands show outstanding sharpness and sensitivity. MIDORIGreen Easy was designed to make the switch from SYBR® Safe as convenient as possible for you and get your DNA signals to the next level. If you are convinced by the quality of our MIDORIGreen Easy you can also try the more concentrated MIDORIGreen Xtra and adapt your staining protocol accordingly.
Figure 1: MIDORIGreen Easy shows the same ultra-sensitive and sharp DNA bands as MIDORIGreen Xtra when using Blue/Green LED excitation light.
Safe alternative to ethidiumbromide
MIDORIGreen Easy delivers even better DNA/RNA signals than ethidium bromide. However, this innovative DNA stain is non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic and non-toxic and therefore not harmful for your health. Independent laboratories confirmed its safety: Both the mutagenicity test (ames test) and the cytotoxicity test were negative.
Easy switch from SYBR® Safe
MIDORIGreen Easy enables an effortless switch from using SYBR® Safe to stain agarose gels. MIDORIGreen Easy has exactly the same dye concentration (10,000 x) and tube volume (0.4 mL) as SYBR® Safe (sufficient for 4 L agarose) – for less than half the price.
The performance of MIDORIGreen Easy and SYBR Safe is the same, depart from the difference that heating of the DNA stain is recommended for SYBR Safe but MIDORIGreen Easy should be added to the agarose after heating.
Figure 2: Similar results where shown when using MIDORIGreen Easy and SYBR Safe with three different DNA markers (MWD50, MWD100 and MWD1P).
The procedures were performed according to the related product’s protocol (A and B) and differing from the related product’s protocol (C and D).
5 µL SYBR Safe or 5 µL MIDORIGreen Easy were added to 50 mL agarose-TAE (1.5% agarose-TAE, 100 V, ~ 30 min).
DNA Marker: MWD50 (FastGene® 50 bp DNA Marker), MWD100 (FastGene® 100 bp DNA Marker), MWD1P (FastGene® 1 kb bp DNA Marker Plus)
Figure 3: Similar results where shown when using MIDORIGreen Easy and SYBR Safe for a DNA dilution series (50-500 ng).
The procedures were performed according to the related product’s protocol (A and B) and differing from the related product’s protocol (C and D).
5 µL SYBR Safe or 5 µL MIDORIGreen Easy were added to 50 mL agarose-TAE (1.5% agarose-TAE, 100 V, ~ 30 min).
DNA Marker: MWD1P (FastGene® 1 kb bp DNA Marker Plus)
Compatibility
MIDORIGreen Easy is optimized for Blue/Green and Blue LED light, leading to unbeatable fluorescence signals of DNA and RNA in agarose gels. MIDORIGreen Easy is suitable for In-Gel and Poststaining.
