2、-plus-05 M5 Gelred Plus 核酸染料 (10000X) 500l 5x500l 【 产品简介 】 M5 Gelred Plus 核酸染料 (10000X)是 在基础上优化开发的 一种具有凝胶染色特性，并被设计为替换高毒性染色剂溴化乙锭（ EB）的红色荧光核酸染色剂 ，比具有更高的清晰度和灵敏性 。 因为 Gelred Plus 与 EB有着相同的光谱特性 ，可以 在不改变任何成像系统的情况下用 来 替换 EB。 如果使用的是 SYBR（如 SYBR Green 1/SYBR Gold)染色剂，并使用紫外透射器 (UV transilluminator）来观察凝胶，那可以使用

3、 Gelred Plus 替换 SYBR 染色剂，不需要更换现有的 SYBR 虑光片。然而，在 488 nm 激光或类似可见光下 Plus不能被充分地激发， 如果需要，建议您使用 GelGreen 染色剂，其灵敏度与 SYBR Green I一样，但其稳定性和可靠性远胜于后者。 Plus既可用于前染 (precast gel staining)，也可用于后染 (post gel staining)。通常后染比前染能够获得更灵敏的特性，并能排除染色剂在电泳过程中对核酸条带分离造成任何影响的可能性。然而，前染较后染更为简单、经济，因为前染不需要额外的着色过程，并且染料用量更少。另外，与 GelGr

4、een 、 EvaGreen 一样，相对 EB或 SYBR， Plus 诱导突变的能力极低。 M5 Gelred Plus 核酸染料 , 10,000X in water为浓缩的 Gelred Plus 溶液 。用于前染时，可稀释 10,000 倍后使用；用于后染时，建议您稀释 3,300 倍后使用，见具体 操作步骤。 【 产品特点 】 1. 安全无毒： 独特的油性大分子特点使其不能穿透细胞膜进入细胞内，艾姆斯氏试验结果也表明该染料的 诱变性远小于 EB。 2. 灵敏度高：适用于各种大小片段的电泳染色，对核酸迁移的影响较小。 样品荧光信号强，背景信号低。 3. 稳定性高：适用于使用微波或其它加

5、热方法制备琼脂糖凝胶；室温下在酸或碱缓冲液中极其稳定，耐光性强。 而且不挥发 ！ 4. 操作简单：在预制胶和电泳过程中不降解，可直接用可见光凝胶透射仪观察。 5. 适用范围广：可选择电泳前染色（胶染法）或电泳后染色（泡染法 ）；适用于琼脂糖凝胶或聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳；可用于 dsDNA、ssDNA或 RNA 染色。 【 操作步骤 】 一、胶染法 （前染法） （用法同 EB） 1 按常规操作，制备琼脂糖凝胶，加入浓缩的 10000X Gelred Plus， 使其在凝胶中的终浓度为 1X Gelred（比如，制备 100ml 凝胶，加入染料 5l-10l，可根据实际情况调整用量 ），轻轻摇匀，倒胶

6、。 2. 因为非常灵敏，电泳过程中 DNA marker 上样量只需 1-2ul，而不是 EB 电泳中的 5ul，请严控 DNAmarker 上样量。 3. 按常规方法电泳，观测结果。 二、 泡 染法 （后染法 ，具体方法见背面 ） 1. 按照常规方法进行电泳。 2用 dH2O将 10000X Gelred Plus 浓缩液稀释约 3300倍到 0.1M的 NaCl中，制成 3X染色液。（比如，将 15l 10000X Gelred Plus浓缩液和 5ml 1M NaCl 加到 45ml dH2O中）。 3. 将凝胶小心放入合适的容器中，缓慢加入足量的 3X染色液浸没胶。室温振荡染色约 10

7、-30min，最佳染色时间根据凝胶厚度及琼脂糖浓度不同而略有不同。对于 3.5-10%丙烯酰胺胶 ，染色时间通常介于 30min 到 1小时。然后观测结果。 北京聚合美生物科技有限公司 Mei5 Biotechnology, Co., Ltd 北京市海淀区学院路甲 5 号 768创意园 B-1211 热线电话： （ 86） 010-82714490 【附录： 后染胶标准操作流程 】 核酸电泳后染胶因为污染区域小，污染操作可控，越来越得到实验室的接受和采用。 标准 操作步骤（以配 100ml 1%的琼脂糖为例）： 1、 称 1g琼脂糖，量取 100m l 1xTAE（或 1x TBE）电泳缓冲液

10、cid gel stain designed to replace the highly toxic ethidium bromide (EtBr). The Ames test confirmed that Gelgreen are nonmutagenic at concentrations well above their working concentrations used for gel staining. Gelgreen Nucleic Acid Gel Stain is highly sensitive than EtBr either as precast gel stai

11、ns or post gel stains. GelRed and EB have virtually the same spectra, so you can directly replace EB with GelRed without changing your existing imaging system. GelRed cannot be sufficiently excited with a 488nm argon laser or similar visible light. GelRedcan also be used to stain dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA

12、 in polyacrylamide gel via post gel staining. Precast polyacrylamide gel staining with GelRed is not recommended because of relatively high background fluorescence. GelRed Nucleic Acid Gel Stain 10,000X in DMSO is a concentrated Gelgreen solution that can be diluted 10,000 times for use in precast g

One vial (0.5ml) of 10,000X solution can be used to prepare at 100 precast minigels or post-stain at least 100 minigels. Gel staining with GelRed is compatible with downstream applications such as g

16、 stock reagent and 5ml 1M Nacl to 45ml H2O). Note: including 0.1M NaCl in the staining solution enhances sensitivity, but may promote dye precipitation if the gel stain is reused. 1. 3 Carefully place the gel in a suitable polypropylene container. Gently add a sufficient amount of the 3X staining so

Pre-cast Protocol 2.1 Prepare molten agarose gel solution using your standard protocol. 2.2 Dilute the GelRed 10,000X stock reagent into the molten agarose gel solution at 1:10,000 (e.g.,5ul of GelRed 10,000Xstock reagent added to 50ml of the gel solut

Any leftover gel solution may be stored and reheated later for additional gel casting. GelRed precast gels may be stored at 4C for later us e. 2.4 Load samples and run the ge

However, some DNA samples, such as those derived from plasmid DNA digestion by certain restriction enzymes, may experience migration retardation or comprom ised resolution. Thus, both the post-stained and precast gels can be performed to determine which one may better m

Why am I seeing smeared or smiling DNA band(s) or discrepant DNA migration? GelRed and Gelgreen cannot penetrate live cell membranes then go into th

23、e DNA double helix structure like EB because they are larger molecules (big molecules than EB). They are high affinity dyes designed to be larger dyes to improve their safety. So they may affect the migration of DNA in precast gels. Specially, such as restriction digested DNA may migrate abnormally

24、in precast gels. Please try the following methods to reduce the smeared or smiling DNA band(s) or discrepant DNA migration: 1) Tip #1: Load less DNA Smearing and smiling in GelRed or Gelgreen precast gels most often caused by overloading of DNA. If you see band migration shifts or smearing and smili

25、ng, try reducing the amount of DNA loaded. The recommended loading amount for ladders and samples of known concentration is 50-200 ng/lane. For samples of unknown concentration, try loading one half or one third of the usual amount of DNA. This usually solves band migration problems. Blown out or sm

26、eared bands can be caused by overloading. This is frequently observed with DNA ladders. 2) Tip #2: Try the post-staining protocol To avoid any interference the dye may have on DNA migration, we recommend using the post-staining protocol. If your application requires loading more than the recommended

27、 amount of DNA, use the post-staining protocol. While we recommend post-staining gels for 30 minutes, you may be able see bands in as little as five minutes, depending on how much DNA is present. Post-staining solutions can be reused. 3) Tip #3: Pour a lower percentage agarose gel for better resolut

28、ion of large fragments. Higher molecular weight DNA separates better with a lower percentage gel. 4) Tip #4: Change the running buffer. TBE buffer has a higher buffering capacity than TAE. 5) Tip #5: If you see DNA migration issues or smearing after post-staining with GelRed or Gelgreen, then the pr

29、oblem is not caused by the nucleic acid dye. Avoid overfilling gel wells to prevent smearing of DNA down the surface of the gel. 1) 2. Why do I see weak fluorescence, decreased dye performance over time, or a film of dye remaining on the gel after post-staining?The dye may have precipitated out of s

30、olution. 2) Heat GelRed solution to 45-50C for two minutes and vortex to dissolve. 3) Store dye at room temperature to avoid precipitation. The GelRed and Gelgreen are stable in room temperature more than one year. 【 备注 】 本产品仅供科研使用。在确认产品质量出现问题时，本公司承诺为客户免费更换等量的质量合格产品。 Figure 1.
