Materials

  • Agarose Gel
  • DNA Dye: Ethidium Bromide or SYBR Safe (a Cyanine Dye)
  • Glass Based Filter
  • Dialysis Tubing 3500mwco

Procedure [1]

Yield

Starting DNA quantity (total in the 10uL loaded)

  • 1.0 kb: 124ng
  • 1.5 kb: 122ng
  • 3.0 kb: 120ng
  • 6.0 kb: 48ng

Resulting DNA quantity (total in the 10uL eluted)

  • 1.0 kb: ng, ng
  • 1.5 kb: ng, ng
  • 3.0 kb: ng, ng
  • 6.0 kb: ng, ng

Seven of the eight band extraction yielded some DNA. We started with no more than 124ng of DNA in each well. Bands below 1kb were too faint to be visibly stained by SYBR Green using recommended concentration.

The experiments were performed by Megan Nakashima and Norman Wang
