Question: how much ethidium bromide in 1 agarose gel?
Answer: (Optional) Add ethidium bromide (EtBr) to a final concentration of approximately 0.2-0.5 μg/mL (usually about 2-3 μl of lab stock solution per 100 mL gel). EtBr binds to the DNA and allows you to visualize the DNA under ultraviolet (UV) light. CAUTION: EtBr is a known mutagen.
