Chlorhexidine (CH) comes in three molecular entities: CH Gluconate, Acetate or Hydrochloride salts. Historically, CH gluconate (CHG) has been the most popular form due to ease of use. CHG comes as a 20% w/v solution. A simple 1 in 10 dilution gives your 2% w/v solution. CH mode of action is a cationic reaction with bacterial cell wall. Therefore, your gel excipients has either to be neutral or cationic as well. There are numerous books on pharmaceutical excipients and jellyfying agents. But keep in mind that the task of creating a gel is not an easy one as you will need to demonstrate In-Vitro efficacy as well as In-Vivo safety (irritation, sensitization,...) and efficacy (capacity to actually redice number of bacterias). I.E. on living human skin. If you are in USA, refer to TFM (Docket 75N-183H) if you are in Canada, refer to Human - Use Antiseptic Drugs. http:/www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/alt_formats/hpfb-dgpsa/pdf/prodpharma/draft_ebauche_antiseptic_guide_ld-eng.pdf

What is a difference between 2 percent and 3 percent agarose gel?

The main difference between a 2% and a 3% agarose gel is the concentration of agarose in the gel. A 3% agarose gel will have a higher agarose concentration, resulting in a higher resolving power for separating larger DNA fragments compared to a 2% agarose gel. However, a higher percentage agarose gel may also have a tighter mesh size, making it harder for larger DNA fragments to migrate through the gel.


Why is there a need to submerge the agarose gel into a tank of salt solution?

Submerging the agarose gel in a tank of salt solution helps to create an electrically conductive environment for electrophoresis to occur. The salt solution allows for the transfer of electric current through the gel, which is necessary for DNA or protein molecules to migrate through the gel and separate based on size or charge.

What are the materials necessary for the gel apparatus?

To set up a gel electrophoresis apparatus, you will need a gel casting tray, gel comb, gel tank, gel tank lid, power supply, buffer solution, gel image documentation system, and agarose powder for making the gel. Additionally, you will need the DNA samples to be analyzed and loading dye to facilitate sample loading onto the gel.
