PR1MA Protein Markers

PR1MA All Blue, Regular Range Protein Markers

PR1MA All Blue, Regular Range Protein Markers are blue protein standards with 10 or 11 pre-stained proteins covering a wide range of molecular weights from 10 to 180 kDa in Tris-Glycine buffer (9 to 170 kDa in Bis-Tris (MOPS) buffer and Bis-Tris (MES) buffer). Proteins are covalently coupled with a blue chromophore, and two reference bands (at 25 kDa and 72 kDa, in the presence of Tris- Glycine buffer) are enhanced in intensity.

 

Loading Volume

  • 3 μL or 5 μL per loading for clear visualization during electrophoresis on a 15-well or 10-well mini-gel
  • 1.5~2.5 μL per well for general Western blotting transfer

The markers are supplied at a concentration of approximately 0.1~0.5 mg/ml of each protein in the buffer (20 mM Tris-phosphate, pH 7.5 at 25°C, 2% SDS, 0.2 mM Dithiothreitol, 3.6 M Urea, and 15% (v/v) Glycerol)

PR1MA Tricolor Protein Markers

PR1MA Tricolor Protein Markers are three-color protein standards with 10, 12, or 13 pre-stained proteins covering a wide range of molecular weights from 5 to 245 kDa in Tris-Glycine buffer (3.5 kDa to 235 kDa in Bis-Tris (MOPS) buffer and Bis-Tris (MES) buffer). Proteins are covalently coupled with a blue chromophore except for two reference bands, one green and one red band (at 25 kDa and 75 kDa, respectively, in the presence of Tris-Glycine buffer).

 

Loading Volume

  • 3 μL or 5 μL per loading for clear visualization during electrophoresis on a 15-well or 10-well mini-gel.
  • 1.5~2.5 μL per well for general Western blotting transfer.

The markers are supplied at a concentration of approximately 0.1~0.4 mg/ml of each protein in the buffer (20 mM Tris-phosphate (pH 7.5 at 25°C), 2 % SDS, 0.2 mM Dithiothreitol, 3.6 M Urea, and 15 % (v/v) Glycerol).
