spectrum for EtBr-DNA

[Michael Benedik]

I want to measure EtBr-DNA complexes quantitatively using a fluorimeter.
Does anyone know the appropriate wavelengths for excitation and emission?
I know the main excitation wavelength is around 300nm, but can you also
excite at a higher non-UV wavelength (even if not as efficiently)???

Thanks.
