Description
ROTI®Methylene blue is a ready-to-dilute staining concentrate supplied at 200× concentration for visualisation of nucleic acids in agarose gels and related electrophoresis workflows. The compact delivers a practical working volume after dilution for routine horizontal electrophoresis and post-run gel staining. Physical data include a density of approximately 1 g/cm³, a flash point of about 40 °C and a boiling point near 100 °C, supporting familiar laboratory handling practices for dye concentrates. Molecular biology and teaching laboratories can prepare working stain solutions quickly without reconstituting dry powders, helping standardise band visualisation across gels. This staining concentrate from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned for nucleic-acid detection in agarose matrices where clear contrast and simple dilution steps are preferred. The small unit size suits individual benches, shared electrophoresis rooms and teaching practicals that need controlled dye consumption. Used as directed after dilution, ROTI®Methylene blue supports everyday gel documentation and qualitative assessment of DNA or RNA separation patterns in horizontal electrophoresis setups.

Questions about ROTI®Methylene blue, staining concentrate, 200x conc., 3 ml, plastic
What is this article?
ROTI®Methylene blue, staining concentrate, 200x conc., 3 ml, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Histology reagents & consumables, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
Histology reagents are the fixatives, the solvents, the paraffins and the stains that turn a tissue into a readable section. The stain and the tissue, not the bottle size alone, choose the reagent. Many of these liquids are flammable or toxic and travel under dangerous-goods rules.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
