2. Performed through an electric
current shot through gel
Samples move through gel due to their
attraction to the anode or cathode
Organizes macromolecules (DNA
and proteins) according to size and
charge
3. Agarose
Creates gel medium and matrix for
molecules to travel through
(Tris-acetate-EDTA/TAE)
Running buffer used in sorting DNA
DNA Loading Dye
Allows sample to fully sink into well
Dyes sample
Electric Current
Helps separate samples according to
charge
4. Stock solution- a solution that is
kept at a higher concentration than
used in most experiments.
