Re: [DIYbio] Re: restriction digest confirmation

Differentiated, but have you ever seen 2bp?  The problem is not resolution, it is a mass problem.  That the fragment is 6bp, and if you start out with 1 ug of dna that is 4kb long, then the weight of the 6bp fragment is 6/4000 ug, which is pretty small (1.5ng) and totally invisible.  For reverence, i used 1 ug of dna for my digest, and used 1/5 of the digest for the gel, so we are down to .3 ng.  Waaaayyyy below my ability to detect.

I've seen as small as 2bp differentiated on agarose, but you need to
be careful about your reagents and use a really high % gel
