Loading dyes

[Scottie Adams]

Greetings

 For a while I was using Amersham kits for DNA sequencing and they include
a nice gel loading buffer with a pink dye in it.  I eventually swiched back
to PE Taq FS - but kept using the   Amersham loading dye.  Now we are out
of dye and  of course it only comes in the  Amersham sequencing kit.  Does
any one know what dye it might be - or any other dye I can spike into my
loading buffer to make loading easier.  My tech is spoiled and has never
loaded  samples without dye.

Thanks

Scottie
