Electrophoresis loading dyes are essential reagents used in gel electrophoresis practices to assist with the loading and tracking of samples into cell wells. The dye is visible during the loading step, which makes it easier to load a specific volume of the sample and ensure the gel wells are accurate. Gel electrophoresis loading dyes can provide visual confirmation that samples have been added to the gel wells and can minimize the possibility of repetition.
Gel electrophoresis loading dye is also ideal for sample identification, as when multiple samples are run on the same gel, loading dyes can contain different dyes for each. Loading due can also be added to the sample to make it easier to pipette the small volumes and reduce the risk of sample loss or cross-contamination. Suitable for use with a range of electrophoresis techniques, including DNA gel electrophoresis, protein gel electrophoresis, and the type of analysis being performed.
