6X Gel Loading Dye, Blue

6X Gel Loading Dye, Blue is a pre-mixed loading buffer with one tracking dye for agarose and non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. EDTA is included to chelate magnesium (up to 10mM) in enzymatic reactions, thereby stopping the reaction. Bromophenol blue is the standard tracking dye for electrophoresis.

Application
Preparation of DNA ladders, markers and samples for loading on agarose or polyacrylamide gels.

Features
One-color tracking of DNA migration during electrophoresis.
No DNA masking during gel exposure to UV light.
EDTA binds divalent metal ions and inhibits metal dependent nucleases.
