Gel Electrophoresis
- Materials:
- Agarose
- TAE buffer
- TAE buffer
- Method:
- Weigh 1.50g agarose, and add 1×TAE to make up to 150mL.
- Cool down the agarose and add 15 µL ethidium bromide into the agrose.
- Pour the gel into the tray before it settles down.
- Spin the digested DNA for 5 sec.
- Add 5 µL orange loading buffer (glycerol & dye) to the lid; spin for few sec.
- Cover the gel by TAE.
- Load the gel and note down the sequence.
- At 110V, running for 30 min (or 1hr depends on the equipment).
- Check with UV light & take picture.
