Ethidium is a DNA intercalating agent first discovered as and used as a veterenary trypanocide. A bromide salt is commonly used as a fluorescent tag in molecular biology. The fluorescene of ethidium bromide increased 21 fold upon binding to double-stranded RNA, 25 fold upon binding double stranded DNA. Because of the binding to DNA, ethidium bromide is a powerful inhibitor of DNA polymerase.

Sample Use Guides

To investigate trypanocide activity, the drug in 1% or 2% aqueous solutions at a dose of 1 mg/kg was injected subcutaneously on the side of the thorax above the elbow, using cattle of the Shorthorn zebu type.
Route of Administration: Other
The dye is usually incorporated into the gel and the electrophoresis buffer at 0.5 µg/ml. Note: Electrophoresis mobility of linear double-stranded DNA is reduced by approximately 15% in the presence of the dye. To stain after gel has been run, immerse gel in electrophoresis buffer or water containing EtBr (0.5 µg/ml) for 30-45 minutes at room temperature. Destaining is optional. Detection of very small amounts (<10 ng) of DNA is made easier if the background fluorescence caused by unbound EtBr is reduced by soaking the stained gel in water or 1 mM MgSO4 for 20 minutes at room temperature.
