Product Information
Blue Prestained Protein Standard, Broad Range is a mixture of highly purified, prestained proteins, covalently coupled with a blue chromophore, that resolves into 11 sharp bands when electrophoresed. The Blue Protein Standard, Broad Range is designed for observing protein separation during SDS-PAGE, verification of western transfer efficiency on membranes and for approximating the size of proteins (1–3). Blue Prestained Protein Standard, Broad Range may also be used in fluorescent imaging of SDS-PAGE.

This standard is supplied in gel loading buffer and is ready to use. Do not heat, dilute or add reducing agents before loading.
