LCGreen dye is specifically designed for Hi-Res Melting curve analysis to detect DNA sequence variants. The addition of LCGreen dye increase the melting temperature of DNA by 1-3 °C and may require adjustment of cycling parameters. This dye is manufactured exclusively by Idaho Technology and its chemical structures are unique among the scientific and patent literature.

LCGreen dye is tailored specifically for Hi-Res Melting and has the unique ability to detect heteroduplexes during melting analysis after PCR. Just add the dye to your sample before PCR. LCGreen dye is extremely stable, does not inhibit PCR, and is a "saturation" dye which makes it possible to detect multiple PCR products in a mixture during melting analysis.
