	Gel electrophoresis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gel electrophoresis is a group of techniques used by scientists to separate molecules based on physical characteristics such as size, shape, or isoelectric point.
		Gel electrophoresis is usually performed for analytical purposes, but may be used as a preparative technique to partially purify molecules prior to use of other methods such as mass spectrometry, PCR, cloning, DNA sequencing, or immuno-blotting for further characterization.
		Gel electrophoresis of proteins is usually done in an SDS polyacrylamide gel (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis), by native gel electrophoresis, or by 2-D electrophoresis.

	Agarose gel electrophoresis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Agarose gel electrophoresis (2) is employed to check the progression of a restriction enzyme digestion, to quickly determine the yield and purity of a DNA isolation or PCR reaction, and to size fractionate DNA molecules, which then could be eluted from the gel.
		Although 0.7% agarose gels typically are used, in cases where the accurate size fractionation of DNA molecules smaller than 1 kb is required, a 1, 1.5, or 2% agarose gel is prepared, depending on the expected size(s) of the fragment(s).
		Agarose gels are submerged in electrophoresis buffer in a horizontal electrophoresis apparatus.

	Agarose gel electrophoresis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Agarose gel electrophoresis is a method used in molecular biology to separate DNA strands by size, and to determine the size of the separated strands by comparison to strands of known length.
		In the case of DNA-based gel electrophoresis, an electric field is used to push negatively charged DNA molecules through a gel matrix.
		DNA-based gel electrophoresis can be used for the separation of DNA fragments of 50 base pairs up to several megabases (millions of bases).

	Gel Electrophoresis of DNA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Electrophoresis is a technique used in the laboratory that results in the separation of charged molecules.
		Purified agarose is in powdered form, and is insoluble in water (or buffer) at room temperature.
		The more agarose is dissolved in the boiling water, the firmer the gel will be.

	Agarose gel electrophoresis (basic method)
		The volume of agarose required for a minigel is around 30–50mL, for a larger gel it may be 250mL.
		I load gels from right to left with the wells facing me. This is because gels are published, by convention, as if the wells were at the top and the DNA had run down the page.
		Some gel holders are not UV transparent so you have to carefully place the gel onto the glass surface of the light-box.

	Experiment 11b
		In Experiment 6, it was stated that the mobility of a molecule under the influence of an electric field "is determined by its charge, its formula weight, the pore size of the matrix material and the strength of the electric field".
		Agarose is used as the matrix in DNA electrophoresis because it can be used to form much larger pores than polyacrylamide.
		The lower the percentage of agarose or polyacrylamide, the larger the pores.

	Electrophoresis
		Agarose gel electrophoresis is an easy way to separate DNA fragments by their sizes and visualize them.
		The technique of electrophoresis is based on the fact that DNA is negatively charged at neutral pH due to its phosphate backbone.
		These gels are visualized on a U.V. trans-illuminator by staining the DNA with a fluorescent dye (ethidium bromide).

		Portions of the reactions are mixed with gel loading dye and loaded into a well of a polyacrylamide gel and electrophoresed.
		The gel percentage and electrophoresis conditions varied depending on the sizes of the DNA molecules of interest.
		After electrophoresis, the gel is dried and exposed to x-ray film, as discussed below for radiolabeled DNA sequencing.

	Agarose Gel Electrophoresis of DNA
		During this laboratory you will use agarose gel electrophoresis to separate DNA fragments which have been generated by digestion of your plasmid DNA with restriction endonucleases.
		While the gel is cooling, prepare the DNA samples by adding 1 uL of tracking dye to 5 uL of each restriction digest.
		Run the gel until the tracking dye is approximately 3/4 the way across the gel.

		The program running below is a simulation of an agarose gel electrophoresis setup that allows you to understand how restriction enzyme digests are analyzed.
		To get the best appreciation for this technique, it would be best to review the sections on Agarose Gel Electrophoresis of DNA and Restriction Mapping if you have not done so already.
		One thing you will observe in the simulation is also important in the real world: if two fragments of DNA differ in size by only a small amount (say less than 100 bp for fragments larger than about 1 kb), they will run sufficiently close to one another to appear as a single band.
