General description

Sigma′s DirectLoad 50 bp DNA Step Ladder contains 17 blunt-ended fragments consisting of 50 bp repeats from 50 to 500 bp, 100 bp repeats from 600 to 900 bp, and 1 kb repeats from 1 to 3 kb. Ten ul of the ladder can be loaded directly in a single lane on an agarose or polyacrylamide gel.

Application

DirectLoad 50 bp DNA Step Ladder has been used for cell lysis and genomic cleavage detection assay.
Suitable for size determination of PCR-generated DNA fragments with either agarose or polyacrylamide gels.

Features and Benefits

  • Ready-to-load
  • Easy-to-use
  • Popular band sizes

Components

Sigma′s DirectLoad 50 bp DNA Step Ladder is provided in a gel-loading solution of 5% glycerol, 4.2 mM EDTA, 0.083% orange G and 0.0125% xylene cyanol.

Other Notes

For optimal resolution, the recommended agarose gel concentration is 2.0%.

Articles

Markers for gel electrophoresis aid size determination of DNA, PCR fragments, and RNA, staining well with common nucleic acid stains.

Choose the appropriate markers and ladders for nucleic acid size determination of samples separated by electrophoresis. Determine size of DNA, RNA and PCR-generated fragments using agarose or polyacrylamide gels.

Protocols

JumpStart™ Taq DNA Polymerase is an antibody-inactivated, hot start enzyme.

Protocol using antibody mediated hot start polymerase. Method has short activation period (<1min), and results in higher yields and more specificity over standard PCR methods.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
