Ready-Red

Ready Red™ is a proprietary mixture of chloroform and isoamylalcohol that can be used to remove traces of phenol from the aqueous phase or can be mixed directly with AquaPhenol™ (void volume in AquaPhenol™ bottle is adapted to this purpose). ReadyRed™ improves the recovery of nucleic acids during phenol extractions by making it much easier to visually distinguish the organic and aqueous phases. The red colour (an insoluble, harmless dye compound) does not affect the quality of extracted DNA and can be adapted to any existing phenol extraction protocol.

• removing lingering traces of phenol from the aqueous phase. Two or three ReadyRed™ extractions should be performed



• extracting nucleic acids directly when mixed with AquaPhenol™ (bottle size is adapted to accept 250ml volume of ReadyRed™) Take advantage of AquaPhenol™ / ReadyRed™ kits For your convenience, both reagents can be ordered together under a single reference number. See below.

Storage
