Product Information

Description

The HindIII digest of lambda DNA (cI857ind1 Sam 7) yields 8 fragments suitable for use as molecular weight standards for agarose gel electrophoresis (1). The approximate mass of DNA in each of the bands is provided (assuming a 1.0 μg load) for approximating the mass of DNA in comparably intense samples of similar size.

Comes supplied with 1 vial of Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X), no SDS

  • Recommended gel percentage range: 0.6-1.2%
  • Optimum separation on 0.8%

Product Notes

  1. For long term storage, store at -20°C. If samples need to be diluted, use TE or other buffer of minimal ionic strength. DNA may denature if diluted in dH2O and subsequently heated. Temperatures >60°C may cause denaturation.
  2. The cohesive ends of fragments 1 and 4 may be separated by heating to 60°C for 3 minutes.

FAQs & Troubleshooting

FAQs

  1. What are the overhangs on the DNA ladder fragments? Can I end-label them using the T4 polynucleotide kinase (PNK)? What about the Klenow fragment?
  2. How can I quantify the amount of DNA in each band of a marker?
  3. How do I use the lambda DNA-Hind III digest?
  4. Why does my Lambda DNA molecular weight marker appear smeared and not represent the correct banding pattern?
  5. Can I use Midori Green with the DNA Ladders from NEB?
  6. Can I use SYBR® and/or GelRed® dyes with the DNA Ladders from NEB?
  7. Why is my DNA Ladder floating out the wells? Why are there no bands visible in my DNA ladder gel lane?
