RNA Ladders & Markers
![]() | RNA ladders consist of RNA fragments for sizing single-stranded RNA in glyoxal or formaldehyde agarose gels. Life Technologies supplies a wide range of RNA ladders for accurate size and mass estimations (quantitation) of RNA transcripts from 0.1 to 10 kb. |
Ambion® RNA Markers
Ambion® RNA ladders and markers are available for sizing single-stranded RNA in glyoxal or formaldehyde agarose gels.The Ambion® Millennium™ markers are evenly spaced, making them ideal for constructing accurate standard curves for mRNA size determination.
Ambion® Millenium™ MarkersGet accurate size determination of single-stranded RNA between 0.5 and 9 kb and also use in any northern blot protocol. |
Ambion® Century™ MarkersFor isotopic and nonisotopic ribonuclease protection assays—when single-stranded RNA size standards are needed for denaturing gel electrophoresis. |
RNA Marker Selection Guide
Life Technologies offers unique RNA ladders and markers for a wide variety of size ranges, applications, and formats. The key to accurate band analysis is to use the correct marker or standard for your particular application. Use the selection chart to help you choose the one you need.

Ambion® RNA Ladder
The Ambion® RNA Ladder is a set of six RNA transcripts with sizes ranging from 0.2 to 6 kb. The RNA ladder is designed for use with the Agilent Lab-on-a-Chip.
