Midori Green Nucleic Acid Staining Solution is a new and safe alternative to the traditional ethidium bromide(EtBr) stain for detecting dsDNA, ssDNA and RNA in agarose gels. Midori Green is just as sensitive as EtBr and the staining protocol is also very similar. Midori Green binds less aggressively to the DNA molecules, so fewer mutations occur during synthesis. Compared to EtBr, which is known as a strong mutagen, Midori Green causes much fewer mutations in the Ames test. Most importantly, it is not considered hazardous waste, can be disposed of according to standard laboratories procedures, and is stable for years.
