Gel electrophoresis - the easy way for students

Wilhelmina Van Rooy, Khalida Sultana

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

This article describes a simple, inexpensive, easy to conduct gel-electrophoresis activity using food dyes. It is an alternative to the more expensive counterparts which require agarose gel, DNA samples, purchased chamber and Tris-borate-EDTA buffer. We suggest some learning activities for senior biology students along with comments on several on-line resources.
