Biotechnology Laboratory:  Gel Electrophoresis of Dyes

Biotechnology Laboratory: Gel Electrophoresis of Dyes

A portion of the Partnership for Plant Genomics Education, hosted by the University of California-Davis, this PDF presents a student activity where students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to separate several different dyes. The lab is described as a "precursor to DNA separations" and thus provides an important step in the subject matter. The lab provides for students: detailed instructions, background information, and a quiz and group questions. Answers to the questions, and also the general objective of the lab, are provided for the instructor. Overall, the lab is introductory in nature and perfect for any science classroom.
