We offer a broad selection of Thermo Scientific DNA ladders with fragment sizes ranging from 10 bp to 48.5 kb, for accurate analysis of linear double-stranded DNA in agarose or polyacrylamide gels. DNA ladders are manufactured and quality controlled to supersede industry standards. DNA ladders are made of chromatography-purified individual DNA fragments using a proprietary technology for preparation of pharmaceutical-grade plasmid DNA. DNA ladders are stable during prolonged incubation at room temperature and multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

GeneRuler DNA Ladders

Ideal for sizing and approximate quantification of a wide range of double-stranded DNA. Supplied in standard and ready-to-use formats.

MassRuler DNA Ladders

Specially designed for accurate quantification and sizing of DNA fragments in agarose gels.
 

Lambda, Phage, and Plasmid DNA Markers

Conventional DNA molecular weight markers.

FastRuler DNA Ladders

Fast-separating ladders, designed for accurate sizing of double-stranded DNA (especially PCR products) in conventional, 48- or 96-well high-throughput gels.

Express DNA Ladders

Fast-separating versions of our popular ladders, designed for fast and accurate sizing under a range of electrophoresis conditions.

Loading Dyes, Agarose, and Buffers

Convenient reagents and buffers to achieve optimal electrophoresis results.

O’RangeRuler DNA Ladders

Step-ladders with exact repeats of a DNA fragment, designed for precise sizing of DNA in agarose or non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels.

NoLimits DNA Fragments

Individual, highly purified DNA fragments, useful for researchers wanting to create custom ladders.
