EZ-VISION™ DNA dyes provide a safe, non-toxic and non-mutagenic alternative to Ethidium Bromide for instantaneous band visualization. EZ-VISION™ is supplied as a 6X loading buffer. Simply mix with DNA sample, run on gel and immediately visualize bands on an UV transilluminator. EZ-VISION™ DNA dyes are environmentally friendly containing no hazardous chemicals that require special handling or disposal. EZ-VISION™ One DNA Dye as Loading Buffer features one tracking dye that runs at 10 bp on a 1% agarose gel. This single, fast-migrating tracking dye ensures a clear view of DNA bands after electrophoresis. Formulations also available with three tracking dyes (code N313-KIT) or two tracking dyes (code N650-KIT).

EZ-Vision Two DNA Dye as Loading Buffer

AMRESCO's non-mutagenic, environmentally friendly alternative to ethidium bromide

Simple, Safe and Sensitive

Easy and Convenient
  • Fluorescent DNA dye supplied in a 6X loading buffer
  • Simply add EZ-Vision™ to your samples and load your agarose gel
Instant Results
  • Visualize DNA instantly with a standard U.V. transilluminator
  • Very low background
  • Requires no post electrophoresis staining or destaining
  • Works with most existing filters for gel documentation.
  • Very broad emission spectra with peak near 450 nm
Better for you and the environment than ethidium bromide
  • Non-mutagenic
  • Non-toxic for waste disposal

EZ-Vision™ Safety Testing

EZ-Vision™ mutagenicity was determined by Ames testing of S. typhimurium with and without metabolic activation with an S-9 activation system. Sample concentrations tested did not produce a two-fold increase in the number revertants and did not meet the criteria for a potential mutagen. Additional information.
EZ-Vision Mutagencity Testing
EZ-Vision™ environmental hazard testing was determined by the CCR Title 22 Fathead Minnow Hazardous Waste Screen Bioassay. Both EZ-Vision™ Two and EZ-Vision™ Three were determined non-hazardous with LC50 > 750 mg/l. Further information

EZ-Vision™ Properties

  • Does not alter migration of DNA during electrophoresis
  • Retains fluorescent signal longer than leading competitor
  • Sensitivity similar to Ethidium Bromide at 6ng of DNA above 500 bp, and at 12ng of DNA at 50 bp.
Mobility of EZ-Vision stained DNA on Agarose Gels


Relative migration of prestained samples of dsDNA in1% agarose gel with EZVision ™, Competitor 2 Green Dye, and Ethidium Bromide. Samples stained with EZ-Vision™ are not impeded and migrate at a rate similar to dsDNA that is stained post electrophoresis. The mobility of samples stained with ethidium bromide or competitor 2 green dye is reduced relative to unstained DNA.
Decay of EZ-Vision Fluorescence on Agarose Gels


EZ-Vision fluorescent signal degradation in agarose gels with U.V. exposure over time. Sample DNA was stained with EZ-Vision™ or Competitor 1 Green Dye and electrophoresed on 1% agarose gels. Following electrophoresis, gels were exposed continuously to u.v. light, and the fluorescent signal quantified at 10 minute intervals using SyneGne GBox-HR Gel Doc System, presented as % of original signal. The data demonstrates that DNA stained with EZ-Vision™ retains the fluorescence approximately twice as long as Competitor I.
