Gel Red Stain Solution is designed to replace Ethidium bromide (EtBr) for staining dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA in agarose gels, and polyacrylamide gels. Gel Red Stain and EtBr have virtually the same spectra (Fig1.), so you can directly replace EtBr with Gel Red Stain without changing your existing imaging system. In addition, Gel Red Stain is far more sensitive than EtBr. It is a safe, stable, and sensitive fluorescent nucleic acid dye.
