Concentration: 0.1 mg/mL
Tracking dye: bromophenol blue and xylene cyanol
Buffer formulation: 10mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 5mM EDTA, 12.5% glycerol, 0.008% bromophenol blue, 0.008% xylene cyanol
Shipping and Storage: SmartCheck™ DNA Ladders are shipped at ambient temperature. On arrival, store at -20°C for optimum stability and long-term storage up to 15 months.
Production: SmartCheck™ ladders are produced from proprietary plasmids, digested to completion. A multistep chromatography method is used to ensure purity and DNA quality.
Quality Control: Each lot of SmartCheck™ DNA Ladders is tested with a spectrophotometer to confirm DNA concentration, as well as agarose electrophoresis to confirm band sharpness.
