The resolution of DNA fragments in capillary electrophoresis in replaceable agarose gels
Abstract:
The resolution of DNA restriction fragments in CE in replaceable agarose gels was investigated as a function of the concentration and pH of Tris-acetate ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) buffer both at constant migration time and at constant field strength. The resolution increased for all fragments when the buffer concentration was increased from 40 to 200 mM and the pH was lowered from 8.5 to 7.5. The resolution was lower in a Tris-borate-EDTA buffer in this pH range and lowest at pH 7.5.

DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
In cloning experiments, both the insert and vector DNA...
Southern Blot
Denatured DNA fragments must be transferred onto a carrier membrane from the gel to make it accessible to a probe - a small ssDNA fragment complementary to the target DNA...
SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
