The dye is noncytotoxic, nonmutagenic and nonhazardous at concentrations used in gel staining. It can be conveniently disposed down the drain or in regular trash at working concentrations, reducing disposal costs. It is much more sensitive than EB or SYBR Safe and extremely stable for long-term room temperature storage. Simple to use in precast or post-electrophoresis gel staining. Compatible with a UV transilluminator, gel reader or scanner with visible light, blue LED, or 488 nm laser-based excitation; replaces SYBR with no optical setting change.
