GoldView™ is a new, safe nucleic acid stain, instead of traditional ethidium bromide (EB) known as a strong mutagen for detecting double-strand DNA, single-strand DNA, and RNA in agarose gels. It emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA and red fluorescence when bound to ssDNA or RNA. This new stain has two fluorescence excitation maxima when bound to nucleic acid, one centered at approximately 290nm and another at approximately 490nm. GoldView™ is as sensitive as EB, can be cast directly in the gel or used as a post-stain, and its protocol is the same as that of EB. It is compatible with standard UV transilluminators and visible-light transilluminators.
