Nucleic Acid Gel Destaining: Extracts intercalating dyes (e.g., ethidium bromide, SYBR dyes) from agarose gel slices to improve downstream DNA recovery.

DNA Purification Prep: Removes residual stains from DNA samples prior to ligation, cloning, or sequencing to reduce inhibition.

Protein Gel Destaining Aid: Assists in extracting Coomassie and other dyes from polyacrylamide gels for clearer background.

Cell Lysis for Nucleic Acid Prep: Detergent-assisted lysis and EDTA chelation support extraction of DNA from bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis.

PFGE Plug Cleanup: Helps remove residual stains and cellular debris from agarose plugs prior to pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

PCR/Inhibitor Removal: Reduces dye-related inhibitors in templates prior to PCR and qPCR for improved amplification.

Fluorescent Stain Recovery: Facilitates extraction and analysis or disposal of fluorescent nucleic acid dyes from gels or solutions.

Sample Clarification: Enhances clarity of nucleic acid preparations by solubilizing hydrophobic contaminants and stabilizing pH/ionic strength.
