SSP® widens the product line of Accessory Products – The
Olerup SSP® GelRed™ Dropper Bottle
|
“We
are introducing the Olerup SSP© GelRed™ Dropper Bottle
in order to provide the means to meet future demands of
environmental and personnel safety and to increase
flexibility for our customers. Our objective is to focus
on usability and flexibility for laboratory staff
working with our products daily, and GelRed™ is a modern
alternative to ethidium bromide.” states Anna Hedlund,
Head of R & D, Olerup SSP AB. |

GelRed™
is a sensitive, stable and environmentally safe fluorescent
nucleic acid dye designed to replace the toxic ethidium
bromide for staining dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA in agarose gels or
polyacrylamide gels. GelRedTM is impermeable to latex gloves
and cell membranes. Furthermore, this substance is
noncytotoxic and nonmutagenic at concentrations well above the
working concentrations used in gel staining. Another great
advantage is the easy disposal of GelRed™ - since the
substance is not classified as hazardous waste in compliance
with CCR Title 22 Hazardous Waste Characterization, used
buffer can be emptied down the drain without prior de-staining
and there is no need for disposal of gels as hazardous waste.
Additionally, GelRed™ is compatible to the optical setting for
ethidium bromide so there is no need to change your camera
settings.

SSP© HLA typing on Embi Tec Precast Gels
“To
meet the requests of labs that prefer to use precast agarose
gels, we have chosen to recommend two different formats of
EmbiTec precast agarose gels. These gels are user friendly,
and the two formats we recommend are fully compatible to our
product line.” Anna Hedlund continues.
