Hi everybody,

We want to replace our old imaging system for qualitative DNA/Agarose Gels (working on Win 3.11!!!) and I wander if it would be useful to switch from EtBr to CybrGreen.

How does CybrGreen perform?

What hardware/system do you use (camera, luminescence, ...)?

Is its sensitivity comparable to EtBr?

Is it less cancerogenous (working with EtBr at our lab is a pain in ...) so that we could circumvent buffer clean-up and so on ... like we have to do for EtBr?

Is CybrGreen more expensive?

Thx
