Product features

One of the key components of RNA loading dye is ethidium bromide, an intercalating dye that binds to RNA molecules, enhancing their visibility under UV light. This feature enables researchers to visualize RNA bands with clarity and accuracy, aiding in the interpretation of gel electrophoresis results.

One of the primary functions of formamide, which is the key component of RNA loading dye, is to disrupt the secondary structure of RNA molecules by breaking hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs. This denaturation process ensures that RNA molecules adopt a linear conformation, allowing them to migrate through the gel matrix based primarily on their size rather than their secondary structure. As a result, researchers can obtain more accurate information about RNA fragment sizes and distributions within a sample.

At its core, RNA loading dye serves multiple critical functions. It provides a visible marker for tracking the migration of RNA fragments during electrophoresis, ensuring precise sizing and quantification of RNA molecules. Additionally, the dye formulation typically includes denaturing agents like formamide, which help RNA molecules maintain their linear structure and facilitate separation based on size, even under non-denaturing conditions.
