| Application: | Nancy-520 is a fluorescent stain for dsDNA on agarose electrophoresis gels, with higher sensitivity than ethidium bromide and an easy, fast, and robust staining procedure. It is provided as a 5000x stock solution (500 μl), which is sufficient for 50 agarose gels. The limit of detection is 0.5 ng/band of dsDNA. In addition, Nancy-520 can be used to determine dsDNA concentrations in solution, with a linear range between 0 - 2 μg/ml of DNA. Nancy 520 Nancy-520 has been used successfully in PCR (Real time-PCR) applications. Nancy 520 Greener alternative to Ethidium bromide. |
