Invitrogen™ SYBR™ Green I Nucleic Acid Gel Stain, 10,000X concentrate in DMSO
Description
SYBR Green I offers greater sensitivity for dsDNA, making it especially useful for assays where the presence of contaminating RNA or ssDNA might obscure results. With exceptionally low background fluorescence and spectral characteristics that closely match light sources and filter sets in existing instruments, SYBR Green I stain is ideal for use with laser scanners.
Product use 1mL stains 100 minigels.
- Sensitivity: at least four times greater than ethidium bromide for DNA in agarose gels
- Ease of use: gels soaked in diluted stain can be visualized without desalting
- Compatibility: with UV transilluminators, gel documentation systems, and laser scanners
- Flexibility: for use with a broad range of applications, including DNA typing, PCR-based assays, DNA damage assays, analysis of complex samples, and real-time PCR detection

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The SYBR dyes are useful only over a narrow range of pH, from about 7 to 8. Outside this range, the fluorescent signal diminishes rapidly.
Please go here (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/dna-rna-purification-analysis/nucleic-acid-gel-electrophoresis/dna-stains/sybr-safe.html) and click on the Filter Recommendations tab to see filter recommendations for use with SYBR Safe DNA Gel Stain. Note that the excitation and emission spectra of SYBR Safe DNA Gel Stain are very similar to those of SYBR Green I, SYBR Green II, and SYBR Gold dyes, as well as fluorescein (FITC). Therefore, filters appropriate for these dyes can also be used. A camera filter is not required with the Safe Imager Blue-Light Transilluminator; the amber filter provided with the instrument serves this purpose.
This is not recommended. Most deep amber/orange ethidium bromide filters have a cutoff value around 550 nm. The SYBR Green dyes emit at 520 nm, which will not be detected using this filter.
All SYBR dyes have similar spectral properties, but have different chemical compositions. All SYBR dyes bind to dsDNA, ssDNA and RNA but vary in sensitivity. SYBR Safe DNA Gel Stain was specifically developed as a safer alternative to ethidium bromide. SYBR Green I is an ultrasensitive stain for dsDNA, and SYBR Green II is a highly sensitive stain for RNA and ssDNA. All SYBR dyes are optimally excited by the Safe Imager Blue-Light Transilluminator.
