Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Preparing the Gel
- Mix 1g of agarose powder with 100ml of 1x TAE buffer and heat for 1minute or until all agarose is dissolved.
- Wait until it has cooled (not set), and add 1ul of GelRed into the mixture.
- Pour the solution into a cast with an appropriate comb.
- Leave to set.
Running the Gel
- Mix 1ul of 1kbp DNA ladder with 6ul of loading dye (bromophenol blue) and 4ul of 1x TAE buffer (total 6ul) and load onto first well
- Mix 5ul of PCR products with 1ul of loading dye and load onto wells.
- Run gel at 90V for 45minutes approximately
- Photograph gels under UV light
