A Carolina Exclusive!

An ultra-safe, 2-step staining system in which a small amount of stain is added to the agarose and buffer prior to running the gel. This causes DNA bands to become faintly visible during electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, simply stain as usual to enhance visualization of bands.

CarolinaBLU™ stain gives better results than methylene blue because of increased sensitivity, reduced background, and reduced staining time (stains in 15 to 20 minutes).

Includes 30 mL of stain to be added to the agarose and buffer solutions and 250 mL of the final staining solution.
