Protocol
- Determine the concentration of Agarose to be used
DNA Size 5 - 10 kb 0.2 - 1 kb Concentration of Agarose 0.7 % 2 % Amount of Agarose 0.7 g 2 g Amount of 0.5X TBE Buffer 100 mL 100 mL Amount of SYBR Safe 8uL 8uL
Note: Scale up or down accordingly
- Weigh out the required amount of Agarose with a scale
- Measure the required volume of TBE buffer using a graduated cylinder
Caution: Hot Agarose solution should be handled very carefully.
- Transfer the Agarose powder into a 250mL Erlenmeyer flask and add in the TBE buffer, mix
by swirling the flask and microwave for 30s, repeat mixing and heating step until all gel powder are dissolved and the solution appears to be clear.
