Why are the bands stuck in the wells during agarose gel electrophoresis?
Question:
Why are the bands stuck in the wells during agarose gel electrophoresis? What could be the probable reasons for no amplification?
I am trying to amplify a gene by colony PCR. Everytime I observe that the bands are stuck within the wells. Is my gene of interest really amplified or do I need to change the agarose gel concentration to visualize the bands?
Answer:
To address bands sticking in the wells, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Ensure proper loading buffer concentration and volume.
- Verify the quality and purity of the DNA samples.
- Optimize the agarose gel concentration for the expected DNA fragment size.
- Run the gel at the recommended voltage and time.
- Check for any irregularities or damage in the gel before use.
- By addressing these factors, you can improve the migration of DNA bands and minimize the issue of bands getting stuck in the wells during agarose gel electrophoresis.
