. Do not load more than
recommended amount of DNA sample or ladder per well.
•
Load deionized water into all empty wells
.

Keep all sample volumes uniform
. If you do not have enough samples to load all the wells of
the gel, load an identical volume of deionized water into any empty wells. Prepare your
samples by adding E-Gel

1X Sample Loading Buffer or deionized water to the required
amount of DNA to bring the total required sample volume.
