EvaGreen Dye

EvaGreen^® is a DNA-binding dye with many features that make it a superior alternative to SYBR^® Green I for qPCR. Apart from having similar spectra, EvaGreen^® has three important features that set it apart from SYBR^® Green I: EvaGreen^® has much less PCR inhibition, is an extremely stable dye, and has been shown to be non-mutagenic and non-cytotoxic. EvaGreen^® is compatible with all common real-time PCR cyclers – simply select the standard settings for SYBR^® Green or FAM!
