9.2 Applications

Problem

Solution

Perpendicular DGGE

Only a single band is seen

Mix normal and mutant DNA samples prior
to loading well

Difficult to visualize hetero-

1. Increase amount of DNA (1–3 µg).

duplex and homoduplex

2. Use SYBR Green I dye agent (Molecular

DNA bands

Probes, Inc.).

Unknown faint bands

Impurity or non-specificity of PCR product

Poor gradient

Insure that gradient delivery system is
working properly. See instructions

“S” curve appears to be shifted/cut

1. Increase upper gradient concentrations.
2. Level tilt rod after gel is cast.

Smear at top of gel

Probably genomic DNA. This is OK

Parallel DGGE

Normal and mutant

1. Increase or decrease run time (time course

DNA unresolved

run recommended).

2. Recalculate gradient range from perpen-

dicular gel or run a time course gel.

Air bubbles in gel

Clean glass plates

Fuzzy DNA bands

Clean wells before use. Check for matching
comb and spacer thickness.
2. Let gel polymerize for at least 60 minutes.

Bands did not migrate far

1. Increase run time.

enough into gel

2. Decrease acrylamide concentration.
3. Decrease denaturant concentration.

DNA leaks between wells

1. Acrylamide not polymerized. Add more

TEMED and ammonium persulfate to final
concentration of 0.1%.

2. Degas acrylamide solution before casting

gel.

3. Let gel polymerize for at least 60 minutes.
4. Do not overload sample well. Reduce

sample volume.

Skewed or distorted bands,

1. Impurities in acrylamide. Filter before use.

or DNA spikes in gel

Check shelf life date of acrylamide.

2. Carefully load DNA into wells. Do not

pierce or puncture wells.
