Our prestained protein ladders and standards allow for easy identification and monitoring of your proteins during electrophoresis. These prestained ladders are available in low, broad, and high molecular weight ranges, and provide sharp bands for ease of visualization. Additionally, our multi-color ladders provide unambiguous reference points for identifying bands corresponding to their molecular weights, even if some bands are run off the bottom of the gel.

Each protein ladder or standard has its own advantages. The table and information below offers help in selecting the appropriate protein ladder for your application. The Invitrogen iBright Prestained Protein Ladder, which also enables chemiluminescent and fluorescent detection is featured below the table.

iBright Prestained Protein Ladder

Directly visualize protein bands during electrophoresis and transfer and detect bands via chemiluminescence or fluorescence for easy confirmation of western blot detection using the Invitrogen iBright Prestained Protein Ladder.  This ladder contains a total of twelve recombinant proteins spanning a broad molecular weight range (11 to 250 kDa). Ten of these proteins are blue-stained and fluorophore-labeled and enable direct and near-IR fluorescent visualization. Two of the proteins (30 kDa and 80 kDa) are unstained and enable chemiluminescent and fluorescent detection via their IgG binding sites, which capture primary and secondary antibodies used for of the target protein. The iBright Prestained Protein Ladder is compatible with chemiluminescent, chromogenic, and fluorescent detection.

Features:

  • Direct visualization of molecular weight standard bands on western blots with commonly used immunodetection methods
  • Ten blue prestained sharply resolved bands (11–250 kDa) with a reference band of greater intensity at 55 kDa
  • Convenient, ready-to-use format, supplied in a loading buffer for direct loading on gels

iBright Prestained Protein Ladder. Lanes display visible gel, chemiluminescent western blot, and fluorescent western blot results, respectively.
