Ethidium Bromide Disposal Products

Biochem/physiol Actions Photoactive stain covalently binds to nucleic acids in solution and in cells with damaged membranes. Used to footprint drug binding sites on DNA, detect non-viable cells, identify ethidium binding sites on DNA and tRNA, and

Application Ethidium bromide solution has been used to deplete mtDNA to investigate mitochondrial damage signals in autophagy. It has also been used to detect DNA damage using comet assay.

Application Ethidium bromide solution has been used: as a stain to visualize U937 cells to assess cell viability to detect polymerase chain reaction products in agarose gel electrophoresis based gel retardation assay Ethidium bromide (EtBr) is the

Ethidium bromide intercalates double-stranded DNA and RNA and acts as a frameshift mutagen. It can also be used in conjunction with acridine orange to differentiate between viable, apoptotic and necrotic cells.

Fluorescent stain for visualization of nucleic acids in gels. Facilitates purification of DNA when using a cesium chloride gradient.
