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
