Ethidium bromide

Ethidium Bromide solution is a fluorescent stain for visualizing nucleic acids in solution or in electrophoresis gels. The solution is provided at a concentration of 0.625mg/mL. A final working concentration of 0.5g/mL is easily obtained by adding 1 drop of solution to 50 mL of molten agarose, running buffer or staining buffer. Ethidium Bromide solution in dropper bottles may be stored at room temperature for up to 1 year.


Dropper bottles are shatter-resistant and light-proof. No additional hazardous shipping costs are applied to Ethidium Bromide Dropper Bottles. One drop per 50 mL of water equals 0.5ug/mL Ethidium Bromide.
