Description O'GeneRuler 1 kb DNA Ladder, ready-to-use, is recommended for sizing and approximate quantification of a wide range of double-stranded DNA fragments in agarose gels. The ladder is a mixture of chromatography-purified individual DNA fragments. O'GeneRuler™ 1 kb DNA Ladder, ready-to-use, is premixed with 6X Orange DNA Loading Dye, which contains xylene cyanol FF and orange G. In a 1% agarose gel orange G dye migrates at 50 bp. O'GeneRuler™ 1 kb DNA Ladder is ideal when visualization of small DNA fragments is important. The ladder is supplied with 6X Orange DNA Loading Dye for sample DNA. Quality Control Tested in appropriate gel electrophoresis applications. Concentration of each DNA fragment and of the complete ladder determined spectrophotometrically. The absence of nucleases confirmed by appropriate tests. Features Ideal for both DNA sizing and approximate quantification. Sharp bands. Bright reference bands (given in red). Can be directly loaded and are stable at room temperature for 6 months. Supplied with loading dye for sample DNA.
