Description/Preparation: The Protein Marker PS10 PLUS is a mixture of 10 purified proteins which are re-dissolved 'ready-to-use' in loading buffer. The proteins resolve into 10 sharp bands in the range of 11-180 kDa when analysed by SDS-PAGE and stained with optimized dyes. The marker is ready-to-use. There is no need to boil. Applications • Monitoring of protein migration during SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. • Monitoring of protein transfer onto membranes during Western blotting. • Sizing of proteins on SDS-polyacrylamide gels and Western blots. Usage: Mini gel application: 10 μl/well; 5 µl per well blots Standard gel application: 20 μl/well; 10 µl per well for blots Number of bands: 10 11, 17, 25, 35, 48, 63, 75, 100,135, 180 kDa Loading: Loading Denaturing Polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE): - Thaw marker at room temperature or heat at 37 – 40 °C for a few minutes. Do not boil! - Vortex gently to ensure the solution is homogeneous and load the ladder on SDS-polyacrylamide gel - 10 μl per well for mini-gels, 5 μl per well for blots - 20 μl per well for large gels, 10 μl per well for blots 1 ml marker is sufficient for 100 mini gels or 50 standard gels. It is recommended to divide the marker into aliquots to avoid contamination of the stock solution. Note: Protein Marker PS10 PLUS is optimized for runs on 12 % SDS polyacrylamide gels. 8 to 10 % gels may cause proteins with low molecular weights to migrate with the dye front. On 12 to 15 % and gradient gels all bands are visible. Quality Control Tested in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. Storage: at -20°C Shipment: on blue ice Related products:
