Identifying the apparatus used for gel electrophoresis

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The apparatus used for gel electrophoresis is called a gel electrophoresis chamber or unit. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Components: The gel electrophoresis apparatus typically consists of a gel tray, where the gel is placed, a buffer tank that holds the conductive buffer solution, and electrodes to apply the electric field. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Power Supply: A power supply is connected to the electrodes to create an electric field across the gel. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Gel: The gel, usually made of agarose or polyacrylamide, acts as a molecular sieve to separate DNA, RNA, or proteins based on size. ‖ ‖ d ⋮ Loading Wells: The gel has wells where samples are loaded for separation. ‖ ‖ e ⋮ Comb: A comb is used to create the wells in the gel before it solidifies. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Gel electrophoresis chamber or unit ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The gel electrophoresis chamber or unit is the apparatus used to separate molecules based on size and charge by applying an electric field to a gel matrix◊What is the significance of the gel concentration in gel electrophoresis?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊⚹
