DNA Size Markers & Mass Ladders
DNA Ladders
DNA ladders comprising fragments of specific base pair lengths are available for estimation of molecular size from 10 bp to 12 kb. For easy determination of fragment size by visual reference, several DNA ladders include bands that are two to three times more intense than the other bands. All DNA ladders can be stained with ethidium bromide, SYBR® Safe, or other DNA stains, and several can be radiolabeled using T4 DNA polymerase or T4 polynucleotide kinase.
