After the electrophoresis run, when the smallest molecules have almost reached the anode, the molecules in the gel can be stained? to make them visible. Silver or Coumassie blue dye can be used. Other methods can also be used to visualize the separation of the mixture's components on the gel. If the analyte molecules luminesce under ultraviolet light, a photograph? can be taken of the gel under ultraviolet light. If the molecules to be separated contain radioactive atoms, an autoradiogram? can be recorded of the gel. |
