Overview

Xylene cyanol is often used as a tracking dye during agarose or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It has a slight negative charge and will migrate the same direction as DNA, allowing the user to monitor the progress of molecules moving through the gel. The rate of migration varies with gel composition.

Xylene Cyanol FF is used as a:
· histological stain and as tracker dye in DNA sequencing and electrophoresis 
· gel-loading dye
· formamide RNA loading dye
· tracking dye in native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) loading buffer

Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
