I dried my gel using your DryEase Mini Gel Drying system and the gel cracked during drying. Can you please help?
Please see below for possible causes and solutions:
- Air trapped between cellophane layers. Apply adequate Gel-Drying solution to prevent bubbles between the gel and cellophane assembly.
- Tension on cellophane too strong. Take care not to stretch the cellophane during dryer assembly.
- Rough edges or small cracks on gel edges. Trim rough edges from the gel to eliminate starting points for cracks.
- Cellophane slips during drying. Make sure clamps hold all four edges of the dryer assembly firmly.
I am using your DryEase Mini Gel Drying system and would like to peel off the cellophane after drying the gel but it seems really difficult. Can you please offer some tips?
Usually it is not necessary to peel off the cellophane. If your signal is very faint and you are concerned about getting an exposure, you can rub the top surface of your gel with a damp towel and then peel off the cellophane. Then air dry the gel for a few minutes and perform autoradiography.
I dried my gel using Gel-Drying Solution and it dried milky white. Can the gel be recovered?
Gels turn white when they are dried too rapidly, usually in an environment that is too ventilated, drafty, or warm. You can remedy this problem by dabbing the gel with deionized water on a Kimwipe tissue to rehydrate the white areas. Re-dry the gel in a dark, dry, non-drafty place, such as a drawer or cabinet.
