Agarose gel electrophoresis is most commonly done horizontally in a submarine mode whereby the slab gel is completely submerged in buffer during electrophoresis.
Agarose gel electrophoresis main Agarose gel electrophoresis is the routine method for resolving DNA in the laboratory.
Agarose gel has large pore size and good gel strength that made it particularly suitable as an anticonvection medium for the electrophoresis of DNA and large protein molecules.
An RNA ladder is often run alongside the samples on an electrophoresis gel to observe the size of fragments obtained but in total RNA samples the ribosomal subunits can act as size markers.
Agarose gels as dilute as 0.15% can form slabs for gel electrophoresis.
