  • Cresol Red (Na salt) is a very convenient dye. At a concentration of about 0.2mM it is compatible with restriction digestion, PCR, sequencing. It may be used as marker for electrophoresis;
  • the color of the dye is pH-dependent (red, if pH>7.5; yellow, if pH <7.0). It is possible to use Cresol Red as pH-indicator (i) for denaturation of double-stranded DNA in sequencing, (ii) for silica-purification of DNA from agarose gel.

    The quick protocol for ~100mM stock.

    1. dilute all four dNTP's (250mg of each) in 3.676ml of H2O;
    2. + 424µl 5M NaOH;
    3. check the pH: ~0.5µl on pH-paper.

    Accurate protocol for 100mM stocks preparation.

    1. add the necessary quantity (see table) of H2O and Tris base 1M (it is possible to take the volume of salt as ~150µl);
      2.
