Gel Electrophoresis
Gather desired DNA samples. Write and number the names of the DNA according to their planned order in the gel.
Obtain as many 0.6 mL tubes as you have samples and label them. To each tube, add:
3 µL of MBG water (Fridge A)
2 µL of the DNA sample (PCR Product)
1 µL of DNA dye (Fridge A)
Fill the electrophoresis tank with recycled 0.5X TBE (Cabinet A) until the liquid level is the same on both sides of the tank and the gel is covered
Add 5 uL of DNA Ladder to first well (box in Freezer A)
Set the pipette to ~6.5 µL to make a complete transfer of the sample. Load samples according to the written order in the notebook. Do not pierce the gel.
Slide the tank cover on with the negative prod (black) on the same side as the DNA.
Run the gel for 45 minutes at 150 V
