Both kits use a novel gel system of EMBER™ Ultra-Precoated Agarose and EMBER™ Loading Dye to achieve the highest sensitivity for agarose gel-based detection and analysis.
EMBER™ Ultra-Precoated Agarose is ultrapure molecular biology grade agarose with low electroosmosis, pre-coated with Biotium’s fluorescent EMBER™ Ultra-loading dye. Used in conjunction with EMBER™ DNA Loading Dye or EMBER™ Ultra RNA Loading Dye, the system supports RNA and DNA agarose gels between 1% and 5% and requires no post-electrophoresis staining for quick and easy access result. DNA and RNA systems are also suitable for downstream applications such as qPCR or sequencing.
For DNA analysis, the EMBER™ Ultra DNA Gel Kit provides the highest sensitivity and resolution among other agarose gel stains, detecting single-stranded DNA and small DNA fragments down to ≤1 ng. For RNA analysis, the EMBER™ Ultra RNA Gel Kit accurately detects down to ≤5 ng of RNA and reduces manual preparation time by providing a formamide-containing loading dye that denatures RNA samples. Both systems allow imaging immediately after electrophoresis, eliminating the need for post-electrophoresis staining, simplifying workflow.
“EMBER Ultra gels combine excellent sensitivity and convenience, especially when detecting RNA, EMBER Ultra enables ultra-sensitive detection without sacrificing band resolution,” said Lori Roberts, Director of Biosciences.
EMBER™ Ultra Gel Kit Features:
- Superior sensitivity and resolution compared to other nucleic acid gel stains
- Easy to use pre-coated agarose format
- No post-electrophoresis staining required
- EMBER™ Ultra RNA Gel Kit contains formamide in the loading dye
- Best suited for blue LED gel imagers and compatible with UV imagers
- Compatible with your choice of running buffer
Biotium also provides accessories such as 1X TAE or TBE buffer powder packs to further simplify the gel electrophoresis workflow. For best results, Biotium recommends imaging with a Gel-Bright™ laser diode gel illuminator or a blue light illuminator. These solutions underscore Biotium’s commitment to advancing research through innovative, high-quality tools designed to maximize laboratory efficiency and output.
