This guideline applies to all lab personnel working with ethidium bromide (EB) (CAS# 1239-45-8). Ethidium bromide is a powerful mutagen and is a skin, eye and respiratory irritant. It can be readily ...

Figure 2: Ethidium bromide–stained agarose gels reveal the absence of size competition and chimeric product–formation in ABIL EM 90–based emulsion PCRs. Transfer 400 μl of the oil ...

The solutions contain ethidium bromide, which causes the DNA to appear as fluorescent bands. The tube on the left contains a single horizontal band of DNA, indicating that it has DNA of one density.

1. Prepare a 40 ml 1 % agarose gel in 0.5X TBE, containing 0.5 µg/ml ethidium bromide. Each gel will be shared by 2 groups on the same bench. 3. Each group will load PCR and control samples on one ...
