DNA Gel Stains
Biotium is the inventor of the popular GelRed® and GelGreen® safe, bright, fluorescent DNA gel stains. To learn more about why GelRed® and GelGreen® can be trusted as safe gel stain alternatives, read our white paper.
We have also developed a unique, visible blue DNA gel stain called DNAzure® Visible DNA Gel Stain. Learn more about our DNA Gel Stain Technologies.
GelRed® Nucleic Acid Gel Stain
GelRed® is an ultra sensitive, extremely stable and environmentally safe fluorescent nucleic acid dye designed to replace the highly toxic ethidium bromide (EB) for staining dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA in agarose gels or polyacrylamide gels. GelRed¬Æ is far more sensitive than EB without requiring a destaining step.

GelGreen® Nucleic Acid Gel Stain
GelGreen® is a sensitive, stable and environmentally safe green fluorescent nucleic acid dye designed to stain either dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA in agarose gels. GelGreen® is far more sensitive than SYBR Safe.

Ethidium Bromide, 10 mg/mL in H2O
Ethidium bromide (EB) is a widely used nucleic acid gel stain although it is also a known potent mutagen. EB is an intercalating DNA-binding dye with little sequence preference.
