Biochem/physiol Actions
溴化乙啶可插入双链 DNA 和 RNA 中,并作为移码诱变剂。它还可用于区分存活的、凋亡的和坏死的细胞。
包装
1, 5, 10, 25 g in glass btl
Reconstitution
对于在电泳后进行凝胶染色,应先用水将储存液样品稀释到 0.5μg/ml,再将凝胶孵育 15-30 分钟。通常无需脱色,但是如果必须降低背景色,则可在水中脱色 15 分钟。然后可在紫外灯箱(254nm 波长)中检测 DNA 条带。也可将溴化乙啶加到凝胶和电泳缓冲液(终浓度 0.5μg/ml)中,并在电泳后立即显影。
Application
Ethidium bromide is an aromatic cationic dye, is one of the most studied DNA-intercalating agents and has been used widely as a molecular probe. It is also used in the prophylaxis and treatment of animal trypanosomiasis in affected areas worldwide.†
