The 1kB Plus DNA Ladder is a ready-to-use DNA ladder, which is pre-mixed with loading dye for direct loading on gel. The DNA ladder is composed of 13 individual DNA fragments: 10k, 8k, 6k, 5k, 4k, 3k, 2.5k, 2k, 1.5k, 1k, 750, 500, and 250 bp derived from a mixture of PCR products and specifically digested plasmid DNA. This product contains two enhanced bands (3 kb and 1 kb) for easy referencing. In addition, two tracking dyes, Xylene cyanol FF and Bromophenol blue which mimic the migration of 4,000 bp and 500 bp dsDNA during electrophoresis are also added for real time monitoring.
