Ethidiumbromide - (Jan/05/2013 )

Can someone suggest a alternative to EthBr?

-Pangea-

SYBR Green for example..

You should be able to find them yourself....
However keep in mind that some of the alternatives seem to be more "dangerous" then ethidium bromide itself.

PS. the horror stories about ethidiumbromide are really over the top and not true at all. Many people seem not to be able to search for information themself and just accept "stories" others told them.
