  • TAE buffer


Method:

  2. Cool down the agarose and add 15 µL ethidium bromide into the agrose.
  3. Pour the gel into the tray before it settles down.
  4. Spin the digested DNA for 5 sec.
  5. Add 5 µL orange loading buffer (glycerol & dye) to the lid; spin for few sec.
  6. Cover the gel by TAE.
  7. Load the gel and note down the sequence.
