Non-saturating, saturating and “release-on-demand” dsDNA intercalating dyes. (A) At non-saturating concentrations the dye quickly rebinds to regions that remain double stranded, consequently there is no drop in fluorescence. (B,C) Saturating and “release-on-demand” dyes do not redistribute from the melted regions of single-stranded DNA back to dsDNA, resulting in a reduction of fluorescence. This difference gives dyes such as SYT09 or EvaGreen the high sensitivity required for HRM analysis.
