Abstrakt: A recent report in the Medical Laboratory Technology journal discusses research on microbiology, specifically the optimization of concentration and soaking time of Harris hematoxylin dye for DNA band examination using electrophoresis. The commonly used dye, Ethidium bromide, is considered hazardous, so alternative dyes such as hematoxylin are being explored. The researchers conducted experiments using different concentrations and soaking times of Harris hematoxylin dye on DNA bands from agarose gel electrophoresis. They found that a concentration of 0.05% for 15 minutes yielded the highest mean value for optimal staining intensity. This research provides valuable insights for safer and more effective visualization of DNA bands. [Extracted from the article]
