1. Introduction to Protein Markers

Protein markers, or protein molecular weight standards, are reference reagents composed of a mixture of proteins with known molecular weights, commonly used in electrophoresis to determine the size of target proteins. They are primarily employed in SDS‑PAGE and Western blotting experiments.

These can be categorized into three types: non‑prestained, prestained, and developed prestained markers. Non‑prestained markers contain no dye; they produce sharp bands with precise molecular weights, making them ideal for accurate quantification, though the bands are invisible during electrophoresis. Prestained markers are colored, allowing real-time monitoring of band positions during electrophoresis and transfer, which makes operation intuitive; however, their band resolution is slightly lower. Developed prestained markers are specifically designed for Western blotting, enabling direct chemiluminescent detection without the need for staining, and offering high sensitivity.

Here is the comparison chart:

Comparison of the three: non‑prestained samples offer the highest precision, prestained samples facilitate real-time observation, and developed prestained samples are better suited for Western blotting; choose according to your experimental needs.


2. Introduction to the Li Ji Yuan Cai Series

The Yuancai series is a newly developed, ready-to-use protein molecular weight standard from Li Ji, which is His‑free and can be used directly without boiling, dilution, or the addition of reducing agents. Depending on the size of the loading well, 3–5 μL per lane is sufficient to obtain exceptionally clear protein bands during electrophoresis, as well as after electrophoresis and transfer.

10-180KD Contains 10 highly purified, pre-stained recombinant proteins (10, 15, 25, 35, 40, 55, 70, 100, 130, and 180 kDa).

10-250KD Contains 10 highly purified, pre-stained recombinant proteins (10, 15, 25, 35, 40, 55, 70, 100, 130, and 250 kDa).
