Experiments & Protocols

1% Agarose Gel

Electrophoresis buffer contents:

  • 10 mL 50x TAE
  • 490 mL deionized water
  • 50 μL Bullseye DNA SafeStain

  • Contents of 1% Agarose gel:
  • 1g Agarose
  • 100 mL Electrophoresis buffer

  • Mix agarose and electrophoresis buffer and microwave for 1.5 minutes.
  • When the solution is sufficiently cool, add 6 µL of EtBr.
  • Pour the solution into a bed with a comb levely placed within. Clear the bubbles from the surface and wait for the gel to polymerize.
  • Mix loading dye and sample in a 1:5 ratio and insert samples into wells. Place 10 µL of DNA ladder into the first well.
