Ethidium Bromide Solution
Model Number IB40075
Ethidium Bromide Solution can be used to detect both single and double stranded nucleic acids (both DNA and RNA). However, Ethidium bromide ( EtBr ) does not intercollate into single-stranded DNA very well. Therefore, the fluorescence of single-stranded DNA is relatively poor in comparison to double-stranded DNA.

Recommended Use:
Ethidium Bromide can be used to detect both single-and-double stranded nucleic acids (both DNA and RNA). However, Ethidium Bromide does not intercollate into single-stranded DNA very well; therefore, the fluorescence of single-stranded DNA is relatively poor in comparison to double-stranded DNA. The recommended final concentration of Ethidium Bromide in agarose gels and electrophoresis buffers is 0.5 μg/ml.
What is the volume of 1 drop?
A commonly accepted volume for one drop of liquid is 0.05 ml or 50 µl. (20 drops = 1 ml)How do I make a stock solution with a concentration 0.5 µg/ml?
Add one drop (approximately 50 µl) of IBI 10 mg/ml Ethidium Bromide Solution to 1-liter of DDI water to make a stock solution with a desired concentration of 0.5 µg/ml. This stock solution of ethidium bromide can then be added to the researcher’s agarose or buffer solution.How much of the stock solution should be used with an agarose or buffer solution?
For a 50 ml agarose or buffer solution, add 2.5 µl of the stock ethidium bromide solution (0.5 µg/ml).RELATED PRODUCTS
