Description

ColorPlus™ Prestained Protein Marker, Broad Range includes a mixture of purified proteins covalently coupled to colored dye that resolves to 8 bands of even intensity, including one orange and one green reference band for easy orientation when electrophoresed (1). The covalent coupling of the dye to the proteins affects their electrophoretic behavior in SDS-PAGE gels relative to unstained proteins (1). For precise molecular weight determinations, use NEB's unstained Protein Marker, Broad Range (NEB #P7702) or Protein Ladder (NEB #P7703) in addition to the prestained marker.

Properties and Usage

Storage Temperature

-20°C

Storage Conditions

63.5 mM Tris-HCl
50 mM NaCl
40 mM DTT
1 mM Na2EDTA
10% Glycerol
0.01% Phenol red

Notes

  1. Recommended load for SDS-PAGE Analysis is 15 μl, while 6 μl is recommended for Western blot analysis.
  2. Apparent molecular weights of every band are determined on Invitrogen Novex 10-20% Tris-glycine SDS PAGE gels using NEB's Protein Ladder (NEB #P7703)..

FAQs

  1. Is the ColorPlus Prestained Protein Marker stable at room temperature?
  2. After repeated freeze/thaws, I have noticed a fading or speading out of the low molecular weight bands in the ColorPlus Prestained Protein Marker. Is there any way to extend the shelf-life of this product?
  3. Why do the apparent molecular weight values for the prestained protein markers appear to be different in different gel types?

Tech Tips

Prestained proteins carry a charge because of the dye molecules bound to the protein. Because of this, any changes in the running conditions will alter their migration. These products should not be used for accurate molecular weight determination. The unstained markers and ladders are better for that. Prestained are best designed for western blot applications.
