Gel electrophoresis
Materials:
- Power supply
- 0.8 or 1.5% agarose gel
- Gel tray
- DNA samples
- DNA 1kb GeneRuler of Fermentas
Procedure:
All the DNA samples are mixed 1:1 ratio with Loading Dye 2x.The samples are loaded on a 0.8% or 1.5% agarose gel (diluted in TBE buffer 1x), with next to it a DNA 1kb GeneRuler of Fermentas.
A 90V electric potential is applied to the gel for 24-45 minutes to seperate the bands.
The gel is run in TBE buffer 1x.
