Anachem has introduced Kapa DNA ladders designed to determine the approximate size and quantity of double-stranded DNA on agarose gel.
There are two different types of kit available: the Universal Ladder and the Express Ladder kit.
Both kits are stable at room temperature and are made with DNA loading dye for direct loading on gel.
Kapa Express Ladder kits are suitable for fast electrophoresis and contain seven DNA fragments in base pairs: 100; 200; 400; 800; 1,600; 4,000; and 8,000.
The kit contains one reference band for orientation (1,600).
Kapa Universal Ladder kits contain 18 DNA fragments in base pairs: 100; 150; 200; 300; 400; 500; 600; 800; 1,000; 1,200; 1,600; 2,000; 3,000; 4,000; 5,000; 6,000; 8,000; and 10,000.
It also contains four reference bands for orientation: 500; 1,000; 1,600; and 4,000.
