Description
These convenient and portable single-use gel packs are designed for busy teachers and mobile professors. As easy to use as open, squeeze, microwave, and pour—each bag includes the exact amount of agarose and buffer needed to pour and set one gel with Carolina® Gel Trays (items #213645, #213646, and #213666) or similarly sized systems. Stop wasting agarose and time, and make only the exact number of gels your students need instead. Extra bags are easy to store in the refrigerator until needed.

Directions for Use
1. TEAR open the foil GoGel™ tube and SQUEEZE the contents into a microwave-safe container.
2. MELT the agarose by boiling the gel. MICROWAVE the solution on high for 30 seconds. REMOVE the container from the microwave, and MIX by swirling the flask. Continue to HEAT the solution in 15-second bursts until the agarose is completely dissolved (the solution should be clear with no chunks).
3. COOL the agarose to 60° C with careful swirling to promote even dissipation of heat.
4. While the agarose is cooling, SEAL the ends of the gel-casting tray with the rubber end caps. PLACE the well template, or comb, in the appropriate notch.
5. POUR the cooled agarose solution into the prepared gel-casting tray. The gel should thoroughly solidify within 20 minutes. The gel will stiffen and become less transparent as it solidifies.
6. REMOVE end caps and comb. PLACE the gel tray into the electrophoresis chamber, and ADD buffer. Now, you are ready to LOAD the DNA samples and RUN your gel!
Note: While gels contain 1x TBE Buffer, additional buffer (not included) is required to submerge gels in gel box to perform electrophoresis.
