TECHNICAL BULLETIN
Product Description High, Low, and Wide Range SigmaMarker protein standards are specially designed for use in the PhastSystem electrophoresis workstation and in standard Laemmli SDS-PAGE systems. The High Range SigmaMarker contains seven proteins from 36200 kDa. The Low Range SigmaMarker contains eight proteins from 6.566 kDa. The Wide Range SigmaMarker contains twelve proteins from 6.5200 kDa (see Table 2). When using the Wide Range SigmaMarker, gradient gels are recommended. Reconstitution with 100 L of deionized water results in a solution containing 23.5 mg of protein per ml of 62 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 1 mM EDTA, 4% sucrose, 0.5% dithiothreitol, 2% SDS, and 0.005% bromophenol blue. Precautions and Disclaimer This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses. Please consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for information regarding hazards and safe handling practices. Preparation Instructions 1. To prepare the SigmaMarker for application to gels that will be stained with Brilliant Blue, reconstitute each vial with 100 L of deionized water. Vortex for a few seconds to ensure the material is completely dissolved. Immediately aliquot and freeze the unused portions. Note: Heating of the reconstituted marker is not recommended. 2. To prepare the SigmaMarker for application to gels that will be silver stained, dilute the marker reconstituted for gels to be stained with Brilliant Blue (step 1) 50-fold with 20% glycerol solution. Storage/Stability Store the lyophilized powder desiccated at 28 C. After reconstitution, store below 20 C. Repeated freezing and thawing of reconstituted SigmaMarkers is not recommended. Procedure Select an appropriate marker loading volume specific for the type of gel system to be used (see Table 1). Note: For complete separation of the low molecular weight protein standards, it is recommended to use a 420% gradient gel or a homogeneous gel of greater than 15%. Table 1.
