Product Description
Sizing short PCR amplicons is quicker when the ladder covers exactly the range you run. This Zymo Research marker spans 50 bp to 1200 bp, placing well-defined bands right where most PCR products fall on an agarose gel, so you can estimate fragment length with confidence and spot nonspecific products at a glance.
This listing is for catalog number M5004-50: ZR 50 bp DNA Marker (Ready-to-Load), 50 µg/600 µl. The marker is a set of defined DNA fragments, and one band is intensified to give you a quick visual reference point when reading the gel. It is supplied either as a concentrated stock for loading with your own dye or as a ready-to-load format for direct use. For larger fragments and plasmids, the companion ZR 100 bp and ZR 1 kb DNA Markers extend the range. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
Key Features
- PCR-focused range – Bands from 50 bp to 1200 bp cover the typical size window of PCR products.
- Reference band – An intensified band makes orientation on the gel fast and reliable.
- Ready-to-load option – A pre-mixed format can go straight into the well without extra preparation.
- Defined fragments – Discrete, sized DNA fragments support straightforward size approximation.
- Part of a ladder family – Pairs with the ZR 100 bp and 1 kb markers for larger targets.
