SERVA DNA Stain G
Ethidium bromide (EtBr) has been proved to be strong carcinogen and therefore considered hazardous for laboratory personnel and environment.
SERVA DNA Stain G is a nucleic acid stain which can be used as a safer alternative to the traditional Ethidium bromide stain for detecting nucleic acid in agarose gels. It is as sensitive as Ethidium bromide and can be used exactly the same way in agarose gel electrophoresis with some extra possibilities.
The safety of SERVA DNA Stain G has been controlled with three tests:
a. Ames test
b. Mouse bone marrow micronucleus test
c. Chromosome Aberration Test

SERVA DNA Stain G emits green fluorescence when bound to DNA or RNA. It has one fluorescence exication maximum at ca. 300 nm and another at ca. 450 nm when bound to nucleic acid. SERVA DNA Stain G allows visualization of DNA (>20 ng) in the agarose gel under visible light. This eliminates the need for exposure to UV light, which can nick and damage DNA.\
SERVA DNA Stain G is non-carcinogenic and according to the AMES test it causes significantly
fewer mutations than ethidium bromide.
Comparison of SERVA DNA Stain G vs. EtBr
- Non-carcinogenic alternative to ethidium bromide (EtBr)
- At least as sensitive as EtBr
- Two excitation maxima: 300 nm and 450 nm
- Causes significantly fewer mutations than EtBr (AMES test)
