| ln Vitro |
In various polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis methods, Xylene Cyanol FF can trace DNA. The following is the operation [1]: 1. applied when denaturing gel. (1) To make the gel, combine 8.3 M urea with 10% acrylamide (19:1, acrylamide:bisacrylamide). 55°C is the usage temperature. Prepare the electrophoresis buffer (TBE) by mixing 89 mM Tris, HCl, pH 8.0, 89 mM boric acid, and 2 mM EDTA. (3) Ready the loading buffer: 0.1% Xylene Cyanol FF, 1 mM EDTA, and 10 mM NaOH. (4) The gel was run at 60 °C (31 V/cm, constant voltage) on a Hoefer SE 600 electrophoresis device or at 70 W (50 V/cm, constant power) on an IBI model STS 45 electrophoresis device. (5) Apply X-ray film to the gel after it has dried on Whatman 3MM paper. Up to 15 hours of exposure are allowed. 2. applied when denaturing gels. Gel should be prepared with 8% acrylamide (19:1, acrylamide:bisacrylamide). Prepare the DNA suspension by adding 12.5 mM magnesium acetate (TAEMg), 20 mM acetic acid, 2 mM EDTA, 40 mM Tris²HCl, pH 8.0, and these ingredients. Bring the suspension of DNA to a boil and then gradually let it cool down to 16 °C. Create a staining solution by mixing 50% glycerol, 0.02% bromophenol blue, 0.02% Xylene Cyanol FF, and TAEMg. Use this solution to dilute the sample until it reaches a final volume of 10 µL. (5) The gel was electrophoresed at 11 V/cm at 16 °C using a Hoefer SE-600 gel electrophoresis apparatus. It was then exposed to X-ray film for a maximum of 15 hours or stained with Stainsall dye.
