Size range: 50 bp - 1350 bp
Supplied with free vial of Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X), no SDS (NEB #B7025)
Easy-to-identify reference bands
Small size suitable for 200 gel lanes; large size suitable for 1000 gel lanes
Product Information
A number of proprietary plasmids are digested to completion with appropriate restriction enzymes to yield 17 bands suitable for use as molecular weight standards for agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The digested DNA includes fragments ranging from 50-1,350 base pairs. The 200 and 500 base pair bands have increased intensity to serve as reference points.
Comes supplied with 1 vial of Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X), no SDS.
Figure 1: 50 bp DNA Ladder visualized
50 bp DNA Ladder visualized by ethidium bromide staining on a 3% TBE agarose gel. Mass values are for 1 µg/lane.
This product is related to the following categories:
The 50 bp DNA Ladder was not designed for precise quantification of DNA mass but can be used for approximating the mass of DNA in comparably intense samples of similar size.
All ends have 5´ overhangs that can be end labeled using T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (#M0201) or filled-in using DNA Polymerase I, Klenow Fragment (#M0210) (1). Use α-[32P] dCTP or α-[32P] dGTP for the fill-in reaction.
50 bp DNA Ladder is stable for at least 3 months at 4°C.
For long term storage, store at -20°C. If samples need to be diluted, use TE or other buffer of minimal ionic strength. DNA may be denatured if diluted in dH2O.
We recommend loading 0.5-1.0 µg of 50 bp DNA Ladder diluted in sample buffer.
1X Gel Loading Dye, Purple, no SDS: 2.5% Ficoll®-400 10 mM EDTA 3.3 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0@25°C) 0.02% Dye 1 0.001% Dye 2
Due to the limitations of the acrylamide gel technology, one or two extra bands may be visible on the DNA ladders when run on a polyacrylamide gel.
