The DNA fragments separated on an agarose gel can be visualised after staining with:
Bromophenol blue
Acetocarmine
Aniline blue
Ethidium Bromide
As discussed in
Ethidium Bromide -
The separated DNA fragments can be seen only after staining with compound known as Ethidium Bromide followed by exposure to U.V. radiation as bright orange coloured bands.
- wherein
Ehtidium bromide is a fluoroscent dye, which intercalate with DNA molecules and flourish when exposed to UV light (302 nm).
EtBr is used to stain DNA fragments
