Step 3. Analyze Molecular Weight
Determining molecular weight depends on selecting the proper protein standards.
Many protein standards are available from Bio-Rad and many different DNA
standards are also available. See Appendix D, Accessories for all Bio-Rad standards

To specify how molecular weight is analyzed
1. Select the Analyze Molecular Weight checkbox in the left pane of the Protocol
Setup window.
The software calculates the molecular weight for each band based on the
specified standar

Alternatively, you can choose from available standards:
