Background Information

SYBR Green Dye

SBYR green dye is a cyanine dye used as a nucleic acid stain. It binds to DNA which absorbs of blue light and emits green light. The stain binds to the double stranded DNA and stain the single stranded DNA with lower performance. It can also stain RNA with lower performance. It is also the most sensitive stain available for detecting double stranded DNA during PCR.
