Description
EvaGreen® Dye, 2000X in DMSO is offered for customers with specialized applications requiring a concentrated dye solution.    Note: for most qPCR applications, we recommend our ready-to-use Forget-Me-Not™ EvaGreen® qPCR Master Mixes or EvaGreen® Dye, 20X in water.    EvaGreen® dye is a green fluorescent nucleic acid dye with features that make the dye useful for several applications including qPCR and DNA melt curve analysis, real-time monitoring of thermophilic helicase-dependent amplification (tHDA), and capillary gel electrophoresis. The dye is essentially nonfluorescent by itself, but becomes highly fluorescent upon binding to dsDNA. The DNA-bound dye has excitation and emission spectra very close to those of fluorescein (FAM) or SYBR® Green I, making it readily compatible with instruments equipped with the 488 nm argon laser or any visible light excitation with wavelength in the region. EvaGreen® dye is extremely stable both thermally and hydrolytically, providing convenience during routine handling. EvaGreen® dye is nonmutagenic and noncytotoxic because it is impermeable to cell membranes, unlike SYBR® Green I, which enters cell rapidly and is known to be a powerful mutation-enhancer.    The unique properties of EvaGreen® dye have made it particularly useful in quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) applications. Compared with the widely used SYBR® Green I, EvaGreen® dye is generally less inhibitory toward PCR and less likely to cause nonspecific amplification. As a result, EvaGreen® dye can be used at a much higher dye concentration than SYBR® Green I, resulting in a high resolution signal for droplet digital PCR, real-time PCR and melt curve analysis.    EvaGreen® dye and applications are covered under granted and pending US and international patents.

Key Features
  • 2000X Concentrated Formulation → Highly concentrated EvaGreen® dye in DMSO for specialized applications requiring flexible dye preparation.
  • High Fluorescence Upon DNA Binding → Essentially non-fluorescent in solution but becomes highly fluorescent when bound to double-stranded DNA.

FAQ
What is EvaGreen® Dye 2000X in DMSO? EvaGreen® Dye 2000X in DMSO is a highly concentrated fluorescent DNA-binding dye formulated in DMSO for specialized nucleic acid detection and amplification applications. What is EvaGreen® 2000X used for? It can be used for qPCR, DNA melt curve analysis, droplet digital PCR, thermophilic helicase-dependent amplification and capillary gel electrophoresis. Why is EvaGreen® supplied at 2000X? The highly concentrated formulation provides flexibility for applications requiring a concentrated EvaGreen® stock solution. It is intended primarily for specialized applications rather than convenience-oriented routine qPCR. Is EvaGreen® an alternative to SYBR® Green I? Yes. EvaGreen® can serve as an alternative DNA-binding fluorescent dye for qPCR and related applications. It has a similar spectral profile to SYBR® Green I while offering lower PCR inhibition in appropriate workflows. What is the difference between EvaGreen® 2000X in DMSO and EvaGreen® 20X in water? The main difference is the formulation and concentration. EvaGreen® 2000X is supplied as a highly concentrated DMSO stock for specialized applications, while EvaGreen® 20X in Water provides a lower-concentration aqueous formulation intended for convenient use in common qPCR workflows. What is the size of this EvaGreen® product? This product is supplied as 1 × 50 µL under Gentaur CAT: 0037-31019.
