The Thermo Scientific™ conventional DNA markers are traditional molecular weight standards used for sizing and approximate quantification of linear double-stranded DNA fragments in agarose and non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels. The markers are composed of lambda, phage, or plasmid DNA digested to completion with the appropriate restriction enzyme(s), purified and dissolved in storage buffer. The DNA fragments contain blunt or sticky ends depending on the restriction enzyme used for the marker’s preparation.

Features:

  • Sizing and approximate quantification of DNA fragments
  • Sharp bands
  • Ready-to-use versions are premixed with 6X DNA Loading Dye
  • Supplied with loading dye for sample DNA
