1. Measure 50mL of TAE buffer and mix with 0.5g of Agarose powder.

2. Thoroughly mix the two in the flask and microwave the mixture for roughly about 1 minute (or until you see bubbling).

3. Add 1.5µL of Ethidium Bromide and swirl until a fine mixture is seen.

4. Pour the mixture onto the casting tray (make sure that each end is taped), with a comb inserted in one of the ends.

5. Wait for the gel to solidify over time.

6. Once hardened, remove the comb and load the gel into the electrophoresis box.
