Market Insights

Molecular weight markers are commonly known as DNA ladders, RNA ladders, or protein ladders. The main function of the molecular weight markers is to be used for the determination and identification of the molecular size of biological samples on gel electrophoresis by using the principle that molecular weight is inversely proportional to migration rate through a gel matrix. This method has undergone tremendous technological advancements and is now available in a wide range with a loading buffer in a single tube in a ready-to-use format that minimizes the time spent on thawing, diluting, and adding the tracking dye to the DNA ladder.
