Both kits use a novel gel system of EMBER™ Ultra Precoated Agarose with EMBER™ Loading Dye to achieve the highest sensitivity available for agarose gel-based detection and analysis.
EMBER™ Ultra Precoated Agarose is ultra-pure molecular biology-grade agarose with low electroendosmosis, precoated with Biotium’s fluorescent EMBER™ Ultra Loading Dye. In combination with EMBER™ DNA Loading Dye or EMBER™ Ultra RNA Loading Dye, this system supports RNA and DNA agarose gels between 1% and 5%, and does not require post-electrophoresis staining for fast and convenient results. Both the DNA and RNA systems are also suitable for downstream applications such as qPCR or sequencing.
For DNA analysis, the EMBER™ Ultra DNA Gel Kit offers the highest sensitivity and resolution among other agarose gel stains, detecting as little as ≤1 ng of single-stranded DNA and small DNA fragments. For RNA analysis, the EMBER™ Ultra RNA Gel Kit precisely detects as little as ≤5 ng RNA, and reduces hands-on preparation time by providing a formamide-containing loading dye to denature RNA samples. Both systems allow for imaging immediately after electrophoresis without requiring a post-electrophoresis staining for simplified workflows.
“EMBER Ultra gels combine excellent sensitivity and convenience, particularly for detecting RNA where EMBER Ultra allows ultrasensitive detection without sacrificing band resolution,” says Director of Bioscience, Lori Roberts.
EMBER™ Ultra Gel Kit Features:
