Gel Trays! :)

A few weeks ago we learned how to color dyes into a gel tray. We used a 40 uls micropipet to put the dye into the trays to o see what the scientest used for the different DNA and how it worked is why we used the different color dye. 


In my group we put two red two blues and one green color dyes in. All of them were solid colors but once we plug it in, the electricity will helped us determine which ones are negative and positive energy. It looked really neat watching it happen! After each dye we had to take off the tip of the yellow top because we wanted to make sure you didn't mix up the colors. 


After waiting for 5 minutes the colors started going in different directions or going the same direction.  The dye that went to the right meant that it was negative DNA and the DNA going to the opposite direction ment that it was positive :) It was a pretty neat lab!
