Product Description
When it comes to DNA gel electrophoresis, clarity and precision matter. The Biolit® 6x DNA Loading Dye from SRL Chem is designed to simplify your workflow while delivering sharp, well-defined DNA bands. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this dye ensures your samples are easily trackable during electrophoresis.
This ready-to-use loading dye contains a mix of tracking dyes (bromophenol blue and xylene cyanol) and a density agent (glycerol or Ficoll) to help your DNA samples sink into the gel. The 6x concentration means you only need a small volume, making it cost-effective for routine lab work. Unlike homemade dyes, Biolit® offers consistent performance, reducing the risk of smudged or unclear results.
One of the standout features of this dye is its compatibility with a wide range of DNA samples, including PCR products, digested plasmids, and genomic DNA. The bright blue and cyan tracking dyes migrate at predictable rates, allowing you to monitor the progress of your electrophoresis run without guesswork. This is especially useful for teaching labs where students are still learning the nuances of gel analysis.
For researchers, the Biolit® 6x DNA Loading Dye is a reliable choice for high-throughput experiments. Its non-toxic formulation means safer handling, and the absence of EDTA ensures it won’t interfere with downstream applications like cloning or sequencing. Whether you’re running a quick check or a detailed analysis, this dye helps maintain the integrity of your samples.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of Biolit® 6x DNA Loading Dye?
The dye typically has a shelf life of 12–24 months when stored at room temperature. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.
Can I use this dye for RNA electrophoresis?
While primarily designed for DNA, this dye can also be used for RNA samples. However, ensure your RNA is properly denatured before loading.
Does this dye contain ethidium bromide?
No, Biolit® 6x DNA Loading Dye does not contain ethidium bromide. It’s safe for handling and does not require special disposal procedures.
How much dye should I add to my DNA sample?
For a 1x final concentration, mix 1 part dye with 5 parts DNA sample. For example, 2 µL dye + 10 µL DNA.
Is this dye compatible with PCR products?
Yes, it’s ideal for PCR products, digested plasmids, and other DNA fragments. The dye does not inhibit PCR or downstream applications.
