CYEP10 is a green-fluorescent, GelGreen-type nucleic acid gel stain, 10,000x, that is an upgraded cyanine-class dye with a chain-structured, oily large-molecule design. It stains dsDNA, ssDNA and RNA in agarose or polyacrylamide gels, pre-cast or post-stain, and works with UV imagers (254 nm excitation) and blue visible-light gel viewers.
Catalog no. CYEP10 · For research use only
Key features
- Large, oily dye molecule that does not cross cell membranes; Ames test results indicate much lower mutagenicity than EB
- High sensitivity for fragments of all sizes with little effect on nucleic acid migration
- Stable in heated gel preparation (microwave), in acid or alkaline buffers at room temperature, and under light
- Pre-cast (gel) or post-stain (soaking) for dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA
- Compatible with blue visible-light viewers and standard UV imagers for safe gel cutting
- For research use only

Green Nucleic Acid Gel Stain (GelGreen-Type, 10,000x) FAQ
Pre-cast or post-stain?
Both work. Post-staining is usually more sensitive and avoids any effect on band separation; pre-cast is simpler and cheaper because it needs no staining step and uses less dye. Trying both is suggested.
Which instruments suit it?
Works on UV imagers with 254 nm excitation and on blue visible-light gel viewers; compatible with standard UV gel imaging and safe gel cutting
Is it safe?
It is designed with a large oily molecule that cannot penetrate cell membranes, and Ames test results indicate much lower mutagenicity than EB. Standard lab precautions (gloves, proper waste disposal) still apply.
