Description:
Chromosomes isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, strain YPH80 embedded in 1% LMP agarose and supplied in a GelSyringe™ dispenser. Designed for use as size markers for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFG). Size range: 225-1,900 kb.





1% agarose gel, 6.0 V/cm, 15°C for 26 hours. Switch time of 70 seconds for 15 hours and 120 seconds for 11 hours.

Notes


General notes:
  1. The photograph represents the pulsed field gel separation of Yeast Chromosomes using a CHEF apparatus. The 1% agarose gel was run at 6 volts/cm using pulse times of 70 seconds (15 hours) and 120 seconds (11 hours) at 15°C in 0.5X TBE buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM boric acid, 1 mM EDTA) made with Milli-Q™ water, allowing resolution of 15 of the 16 Yeast Chromosomes. Chromosomes VII and XV appear as a single band. Chromosome XII may display anomalous electrophoretic behavior.
Usage notes:
  1. Extrude agarose from GelSyringe carefully and slice plugs from the end with a sharp blade. One plug is sufficient for one lane of a gel. Place the plug at the front of the well and seal with molten agarose. Allow no bubbles to form.
  2. Recommended plug size is 20 µl (two small graduations on the syringe volume scale), which contains approximately 1 µg of DNA. Each syringe yields 25+ plugs.

FAQs


  1. There are several factors that lead to poor results for PFG markers. Here is a list of recommendations for ensuring a sharp high quality banding pattern.
