Description
Ethidium bromide solution 1 % is a ready-to-use aqueous laboratory reagent supplied as a 1 % solution in water (10 mg/ml) for nucleic-acid gel work. Identified by CAS number 1239-45-8 and EG number 214-984-6, it is intended for life-science electrophoresis and staining of DNA gels. Physical data include a density of 1 g/cm³ and a boiling point of 100 °C, in line with an aqueous medium. The preparation is Molecular biology and analytical laboratories can incorporate this concentration format into established gel-staining workflows where ethidium bromide is specified. The solution is offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH for routine visualisation of nucleic acids following electrophoretic separation. Clear CAS and EG labelling supports inventory control, hazard communication, and documentation in regulated laboratory environments. Use remains subject to institutional procedures and applicable safety guidance for intercalating dyes.
This article is part of Fluorescent dyes & labels, in Dyes, stains & indicators.

Questions about Ethidium bromide solution 1 %, 1 % solution in water (10 mg/ml), 10 ml, glass
What is this article?
Ethidium bromide solution 1 %, 1 % solution in water (10 mg/ml), 10 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Fluorescent dyes & labels, inside Dyes, stains & indicators, in Lab chemicals.
A fluorescent dye absorbs at one wavelength and emits at a longer one. As a label it is attached to a protein, a nucleic acid or a cell. Excitation and emission maxima, and the reactive group if it must conjugate, are the specification. The colour name does not tell you the wavelengths.
A dye or a stain binds, or changes colour, so that something invisible becomes visible. An indicator changes at a pH or a redox point. A fluorescent dye absorbs one wavelength and emits another, which is how a microscope or a plate reader picks it out. The excitation and emission, or the transition interval, are the specification. The colour name on the label is not. Structures are on PubChem under IUPAC names. Methods are in the PubMed literature.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Dyes, stains & indicators. The sub-category is Fluorescent dyes & labels. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Microscopy stains & staining solutions and Dyes & pigments.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
