ss100 DNA Ladder can be used as size markers for gel electrophoresis or other DNA separation methods to provide size markers for single-stranded DNAs or RNAs. Researchers working with single-stranded DNA bacteriophages, DNA origami or DNA nanotechnology samples, rRNAs, mRNAs, or lincRNAs may find these markers to be particularly useful for estimating the sizes of sample bands on gels.
ss100 DNA Ladder is prepared by the laboratory of Ronald Breaker at Yale University by employing self-hydrolyzing deoxyribozymes to process multimeric DNA amplification products (Gu and Breaker, submitted). The samples are produced as a core facility service and the fee for the samples was established to offset the cost of DNA preparation and storage. For ssDNA ladders of different size increments, please inquire.

Data Sheet:
ss100 DNA Ladder is a single-stranded DNA marker preparation (100 microliters) containing DNA molecules of 100-nucleotide increments ranging from 100 nucleotides to more than 1000 nucleotides. The largest DNA products can be several thousand nucleotides in length. The total DNA concentration is approximately 1 microgram per microliter in a solution containing 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.0 at 23°C), 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM ZnCl2, and 2.5 mM EDTA.
Recommended uses: Combine approximately 5 to 10 microliters of ss100 DNA Ladder solution with your loading buffer to load in each gel lane and stain the gel with a DNA-binding dye to visualize (e.g. Fig. 1). Alternatively, the DNA marker can be 5′ radiolabeled using polynucleotide kinase. Note that the DNAs carry a 5′ phosphate group, which would need to be removed prior to labeling by using polynucleotide kinase.
Storage: Extended storage is recommended at -20°C. Avoid long-term storage at low pH and avoid exposure to DNases.
