Agarose gel electrophoresis
Written on 01.07.2011
Purpose
To analyse DNA composition of a sample. Voltage-dependent DNA migration through agarose gel allows sequences separation according to their size.
Ingredients
For a 1% agarose gel
Small | Medium | Big: 26 wells | |
Agarose | 0.5g | 50ml | 1.25µl |
TBE 1x buffer | 1g | 100ml | 2.5µl |
GelRed | 2g | 200ml | 5µl |
For sample loading: RedSafe
Method
- To prepare the gel:
- Weight agarose, place it into a bottle with a cap, add TBE 1x buffer
• Place the bottle into a microwave, <gras>loosen the cap</gras>, heat it untill it almost boils and the agar is dissolved
• Cool it down until it can be hold (that can be done under water)
• Add 1.25µl of GelRed
• Pour into the rack, put the comb and wait until it polymerizes
