how many minimum and maximum number of bands in SSCP marker? - (Feb/13/2011 )
hi dear all
how many minimum and maximum number of bands in sscp marker?
The minimum number of bands is easy: 2. You could say one, but it is always good to have a "control" band in every reaction. In other words, if you only had a single band and that band was absent, how can you be sure that it was not a failed reaction.
The maximum number of bands is trickier. I would say that you do not want too many bands since it is significantly harder to get clear crisp bands the more bands that are present. From experience I would say that anything more than 10 or so bands would be stretching it. Of course this is highly dependent on the method you are using to separate those bands.
