What is a single-stranded DNA ladder?

At the most fundamental level, our single-stranded DNA ladders can be used as size standards for single-stranded DNAs or RNAs. Supported by extensive research, Simplex’s single-stranded DNA ladders have clear applications to researchers working in a variety of biological fields.

What is the advantage of Simplex’s single-stranded DNA ladders over conventional double-stranded DNA ladders?

Double-stranded DNA ladders are not particularly accurate size controls for single-stranded DNA or RNA. Single-stranded and double-stranded oligonucleotides have different electrophoretic mobility characteristics, so an appropriate ladder of the same type enables more accurate sizing.

Does Simplex create custom products?

Yes. Simplex is proud of our flexibility for innovation. If you would like us to make a product or customize an existing product, please send us an email. If the product requested is within our manufacturing capacities, we will promptly confirm and provide an estimate on the shipping date.

Future products are in the works, including but not limited to extending our DNA ladder product line. If you are interested in this product, we encourage you to subscribe to Simplex Sciences' newsletter in the 'Contact Us' section.
