What are the functions of the loading dye in electrophoresis how can DNA be prepared for visualization?

First, loading dye is meant to help weigh down the DNA solution, so that it can sink into the bottom of the wells and not float in the buffer solution.Second, two different types of loading dye are used in electrophoresis. One of them moves more quickly than most of your DNA fragments, and the other moves more slowly, helping you determine the relative position of your DNA, as it should be in between the two bars or dye. This also tells you when to stop electrophoresis so that your DNA does not fall out of your agarose gel.Note that loading dye does not bind to the DNA itself and does not allow you to see the bars of DNA usually seen in a complete DNA fingerprint.


What is the purpose of the glycerol in the loading dye?

It gives density to the sample that we load and also it avoids diffusion of sample


What is the Composition of gel loading dye used in DNA amplification?

Sucrose and Bromophenol blue (6X): 4gm sucrose 25mg bromophenol blue (0.25%) Distilled water to 10 ml


Why are the loading dye added to the samples before they are loaded into the wells?

The loading dye is added to the samples before they go into the wells, because it increases the density enough to make the samples sink to the bottom of the wells. A sample of DNA that contains residual ethanol when it is placed in the well may float.
