Re: [DIYbio] Gel Red questions

Well, it is quite easy to make these substancies known. Just purify them by thin-layer chromatography and make NMR analysis for every spot on the chromatograme. I have access both to the TLC and NMR spectrometer, but have no GelRed or SYBR Safe, but I think here are a lot of people, who have access to these dyes, TLC and NMR. Why not make GelRed and SYBR Safe more known?)

Yeah, that's why big companies and universities don't switch.

EtBr is molecularly known (no one really knows exactly what the gelRed
and sybrSafe molecules are, we know what classes they're in or one
that was described in one patent, etc)
so it's more 'open' in that sense, that would also probably make it
more reliably modeled in-silico (it's a much simpler molecule as well)
