AFG Scientific Ethidium Bromide 1 g – CAS 1239-45-8

Ethidium bromide is a fluorescent dye commonly used to stain nucleic acids via intercalation in DNA/RNA agarose gel electrophoresis. This product manufactured by AFG Scientific meets the reliable working standards of molecular biology and genetics laboratories with ≥99% purity.

Supplied in 1 gram packaging, this compound appears as a dark red powder and can be stored at room temperature. The high purity level ensures clear and consistent band visualization results in gel imaging. The molecular formula and molecular weight are validated against certified analytical certificates, which is critical for laboratory traceability and quality control assurance.

Ethidium bromide exhibits toxic and mutagenic properties; therefore, proper personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses) and waste management procedures must be observed during handling.
