VISUALIZING THE SYBR ® GEL 14. SLIDE gel off the casting tray onto the viewing surface of the transilluminator and turn the unit on. DNA should appear as bright green bands on a dark background. 15. PHOTOGRAPH results. 16. REMOVE and DISPOSE of the gel and CLEAN the transil- luminator surfaces with distilled water.

Be sure to wear UV goggles if using a UV transilluminator.

Save time, money, the environment...and get better gel results! SYBR Safe® is a DNA stain that fluoresces with a bright green color when excited with blue light. Like Ethidium Bromide, SYBR Safe® binds specifically to the DNA double helix. Howev - er, unlike Ethidium Bromide, SYBR Safe® has been engineered to be less mutagenic then Ethidium Bromide, making it much safer to use, particularly in the classroom.

• SAFE for the Biotechnology Classroom • More sensitive than ethidium bromide • Non-mutagenic • 10,000 X Concentrate for 750 mL • Volume: 80 µL
