ReadiUse™ 1 kb Plus DNA ladder is a ready-to-use DNA ladder, which is pre-mixed with loading dye for direct gel loading. It is composed of 26 individual DNA fragments: 25k, 10k, 8k, 6k, 5k, 4k, 3k, 2.5k, 2k, 1.5k, 1.2k, 1k, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 450, 400, 350, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100 and 50 base pairs derived from a mixture of PCR products and specifically digested plasmid DNA. This product contains four enhanced bands (3k, 1.2k, 500 and 200 bp) for easy reference. In addition, three tracking dyes, Xylene cyanol FF, Bromophenol blue and Orange G which mimic the migration of 4,000 bp, 500 bp and 50 bp dsDNA during electrophoresis are added for real time monitoring.
