Blue/Green LED Light The Revolution Detection of nucleic acids is mainly performed using light in the UV-range. However, DNA is able to absorb light in the UV-spectrum. This property leads to DNA modifications and DNA degradation when exposed to UVlight. It damages sample DNA and is also dangerous for the user. Instead of using a single wavelength, the Blue/Green LED technology uses a combination of wavelengths in a spectrum of light from 470 nm to 520 nm. This Blue/Green light is able to excite all common red and green DNA dyes with a very high intensity. This intensity can be achieved by...

Spectra of Ethidium Bromide and MIDORIGreen Ethidium bromide UV-Light: Good Detection, insecure signal UV-light transilluminators use just a single wavelength for the visualization of DNA. Red and green DNA dyes, like ethidium bromide or the MIDORIGreen dyes usually have a good absorption in the UV-light spectrum. This results in DNA bands with a sufficient intensity. However, UV-light is dangerous for the user and for the sample DNA. Just 30 sec of UV-light exposure significantly reduces the cloning efficiency and has consequences for further downstream applications. For this reason, the...

“Avoiding UV-caused mutations during purification was crucial for the decision to switch to Blue/Green LEDs. Works perfectly in combination with MIDORI but also EtBr signals are as good as using UV light. Non-toxic radiation to eyes and skin - easy to handle, very nice.“ Dr. Sturm Applied Biosciences, KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany SYBR® Safe MIDORIGreen Xtra Detection of all common DNA Dyes The Blue/Green LED technology leads to fantastic intensities of DNA bands with all common DNA dyes, such as GelRed®, SYBR® and the MIDORIGreen
