Nucleic acid electrophoresis is a laboratory technique for separating and analyzing DNA or other nucleic acids based on size, charge, and, in some cases, structure. This approach is commonly used in molecular biology and genetics research to validate the presence of specific nucleic acids, analyze their size or length, and measure their concentrations.
An electric field is applied to a gel matrix, causing charged nucleic acids to move through the gel at varying rates depending on their characteristics. The nucleic acid samples are placed into wells or slots at one end of the gel, often mixed with a loading buffer to create density and loading dye for visualization. A tracking dye is normally present in the loading solution and moves with the nucleic acids during electrophoresis.
Nucleic acids migrate across the gel at different rates depending on their size and charge. Smaller nucleic acids migrate through the gel faster and farther, while larger ones move slower and stay closer to the starting point. Following electrophoresis, the nucleic acids in the gel can be seen using several staining techniques.
Ethidium bromide or other fluorescent dyes are commonly used to make nucleic acids visible under ultraviolet (UV) light. For researchers, more improved imaging equipment allows them to utilize less harmful fluorescent dyes. Nucleic acid electrophoresis is a fundamental technique used in molecular biology labs, and the results reveal a lot about the properties and characteristics of DNA and RNA molecules.
The Global Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Puro GEL Compact Gel Electrophoresis System is a new product. Puro GEL Compact Gel Electrophoresis System is a small horizontal electrophoresis system for separating and analyzing DNA and RNA on an agarose gel.
The system combines the gel migration tank and a control box with an integrated power supply into a single compact unit that leaves plenty of room for expansion. Gel tank, integrated power supply, and gel casting accessories complete the system. The footprint is 7.5″ x 5″ (including the gel tank and power supply). Gel casting is quick and easy – no spacers or clamps required, and all accessories are included.
