Description
Tri-Color Prestained Protein Marker (10–180 kDa) is a ready-to-use protein molecular weight marker designed for accurate protein size estimation during SDS-PAGE and Western blot workflows. In protein electrophoresis experiments, unclear band positioning, inconsistent molecular weight estimation, and difficulty monitoring membrane transfer can affect downstream protein analysis. A reliable prestained protein ladder provides researchers with a visible reference standard to evaluate protein migration and transfer performance.
This tri-color prestained protein marker contains 10 colored protein bands covering a broad molecular weight range from 10 kDa to 180 kDa. The marker produces clear visual bands directly during gel electrophoresis and after transfer onto PVDF or nitrocellulose (NC) membranes, making it suitable as a protein molecular weight marker for Western blotting and SDS-PAGE applications.
The three-color design includes a green 10 kDa reference band, a red 70 kDa reference band, and blue bands for the remaining molecular weight positions. Compared with traditional single-color protein ladders, this multicolor protein marker enables faster identification of protein regions and improves experimental convenience in routine molecular biology workflows.
Tri-Color Prestained Protein Marker is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid formulation that requires no heating, dilution, or addition of reducing agents before loading. It is suitable for laboratories performing protein electrophoresis, recombinant protein analysis, and Western blot detection.
