Gel Electrophoresis - Detection We run the gel until the yellow dye runs out. Wells
After running the gel (till the yellow dye runs out), we stain it in Ethidium bromide, which will fluoresce when bound to DNA:

Lab 2a (restriction) and 4a (electrophoresis) almost always come together – why is that? • 2) Point out at least one thing that you learned so far that is important to know when working in a biotech lab.
