Application

DIG Easy Hyb Granules can be used in all membrane hybridization applications using nonradioactive (e.g., digoxigenin-labeled) nucleic acid probes. It is specifically designed for use with DIG kits.

General description

DIG Easy Hyb is a nontoxic, ready-to-use hybridization buffer. DIG Easy Hyb does not contain formamide, but facilitates lowering of hybridization temperature comparable to buffers that contain 50% formamide.

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is designed as a safer chemical.  The DIG System was established as a sensitive and cost-effective alternative to using radioactivity for the labeling and detection of nucleic acids. There are many available publications that prove the versatility of the DIG System, so use of radio-labeling is no longer the only option for labeling of DNA for hybridization.

Preparation Note

Working solution: Add carefully 64 ml sterile double-dist. water to the plastic bottle, dissolve by stirring immediately for 5 minutes at 37 °C. The availability of 6 x 100 ml portions allows you to freshly "produce" the DIG Easy Hyb when required—no long-term storage of a solution is required.Note: For applications with Northern blots, DIG Easy Hyb Granules must be dissolved under RNase-free conditions.

Nontoxic granules, aliquoted in plastic bottles. Reconstitute to provide 100ml of a 1x solution, ready-to-use.
