SYBR® Green II is a highly sensitive stain for post electrophoresis staining of RNA and ssDNA in agarose or polyacrylamide gels. SYBR® Green II is not selective for RNA staining but does exhibit a higher quantum yield when bound to RNA than to double stranded DNA.

Application :

-for the quantification of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in Escherichia coli[1]
-for staining 5′-ETS rRNA species separated on polyacrylamide gel prior to Northern blot analysis[2]
-to stain formaldehyde agarose gels to visualize RNA bands[3]
