Filter, & store at room temperature in a
closed container.
1. Clean 1 side each of 2 glass plates (one front plate, one back
plate), first with ddH2O, then EtOH, then 3 times with acetone. Scrub
hard & work a small area at a time on the second acetone wash. The
cleaner the plates, the easier it is to pour a gel without bubbles.
2. Grease the corners of the bottom spacer & place it on the front
plate. Grease the one end each of 2 side spacers & place them along the
sides of the front plate, with the greased ends at the bottom. Fit the
side spacers with the bottom spacer, & put extra grease at both spacer
fittings. Lay the back plate onto the top plate, clean size down.
Even-up the edges & clamp the edges together on the bottom & both sides
with large clamps. Be sure the spacers are straight and fit together.
3. To 100ml of the appropriate gel mixture, add 50ul TEMED and 400ul 10%
APS, then stir. Turn the plates over & prop up the front with an
inverted 100ml plastic beaker. Tip one edge down and place your thumb
down on that edge at the top, thus sealing off the plate overhang. Pour
the acrylamide solution slowly into this corner next to your thumb,
allowing the solution to flow down the edge into the plates. When the
solution reaches the bottom, straighten the plates (i.e. no longer
tilted from side-to-side) and allow the solution to fill the plates from
the bottom up. Don't allow the solution above the smaller plate to all
drain in - add more before this happens. If you don't, bubbles will be
pulled into the gel. If a bubble is formed (or is about to be formed by
uneven flow into the plates), tap the glass to dislodge it. If it won't
come up, tilt the plates vertically, and bang the plates until the
bubble is removed, then carefully lower the plates & continue pouring.
4. When the gel plates are full, pour more solution over the gel, then
place the comb into the top of the plates through the acrylamide
solution (this prevents bubbles under the comb teeth). Clamp the comb
into place & allow the gel to solidify - about 1 hour.
5. Remove the comb and the bottom spacer. Remove all but 2 clamps on
each side, and clamp the gel into the gel box, being sure the corners at
the top are sealed with plastic squares & vacuum grease (for our current
units). Using a syringe & TBE buffer, rinse the air out of the wells
and the bottom of the gel.
6. Heat the samples at 90C for 5 min, then cool on ice. While the
samples are cooling, again rinse out the wells with buffer, being sure
to rinse out all the urea-containing buffer from each well.
7. Using a drawn-out glass capillary & mouth pipetter, load each sample
onto the gel. Run the gel at up to 80 watts, with the fan on.
8. When the gel is finished (depending on what you want to see, how big
the DNA is, how many loadings you do, etc...), take the plates out of
the gel box, and CAREFULLY separate the plates with a metal spatula by
prying from one bottom corner. 6% gels can be lifted from the glass
with a piece of 3MM paper rubbed over the gel - then covered with saran
wrap & dried on a gel dryer. 8-20% gels are lifted using a used piece
of X-ray film rubbed over the gel, then covered with saran wrap.
9. Autoradiography of hot samples is at room temperature; less hot
samples are exposed with screens at -70C
