Description
The DM1160 FluoroBand™ 50 bp Fluorescent DNA Ladder is a ready-to-use DNA ladder, which is pre-mixed with high sensitivity DNA binding fluorescent dye and loading dye for direct gel loading. The DNA Ladder DM1160 is composed of 17 individual DNA fragments: 1.5k, 1.2k, 1k, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 450, 400, 350, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, and 50 bp derived from a mixture of PCR products and specifically digested plasmid DNA; these bands can be visualized when illuminated with 470 nm blue light or a UV light. This product contains two enhanced bands (500 bp and 200 bp) for easier reference. In addition, the low range Orange G tracking dye which mimics the migration of a 50 bp dsDNA during electrophoresis is also added for real time monitoring. Real time observation of the electrophoresis is also possible if compatible light source is fitted to the electrophoresis tank.

Are the DNA markers/ladders produced by SMOBIO sufficient in quantity?
Yes, all the DNA markers of SMOBIO have been passed in the QC processes including repeated optical density measurements to ensure the quantity of total DNA.
Can I combine non-fluorescent markers and fluorescent loading dye (ex. DL5000) to replace FluoroBand™ fluorescent DNA ladders?
SMOBIO’s fluorescent DNA ladders is better in intensity and accuracy than a fluorescent marker produced by mixing non-fluorescent one with reagents containing fluorescent DNA dyes such as DL5000. In another aspect, DL5000 is designed for quick screening, not intended for preparation of DNA ladders which needs careful calibration. Therefore we suggest using our fluorescent DNA ladders directly.
Will FluoroBand™ fluorescent DNA ladders gradually lose intensity?
The fluorescent signals of a fluorescent DNA ladder might be reduced if frequently exposed to light for a long term. Therefore, we suggest keeping fluorescent DNA ladders from exposure to light.
Can fluorescent DNA markers be visualized when illuminated with UV light?
Yes, it is possible to view the fluorescent signals under blue light and UV light.
