Gel protocol

Prepared a 150ml gel using 150ml of 1xTAE + 3.0g Agarose, melted gel for ~3 minues in the microwave and let cool and added 2µl Gelgreen, mixed and poured in the large gel rig. Used the 14 well comb on top and the 28 well comb on the middel of the gel.

Added 4µl of GeneRuler 1kb plus DNA Ladder already containing dye to gel wells Mixed 1.5µl of Purple loading dye with 4µl of GeneRuler 100 bp DNA Ladder and added to gel wells

Ran the gel in 1X TAE at 70V for 75 minutes

Gel Results

After 70 minutes at 70V

The 2% gel in 1x TAE run for 70 minutes at 70V provides enough resolution for the GeneRuler 100bp standard and thus fragments ranging from 100-1000bp.
