A very limited amount of nucleic acid, 500-1500 bp in size, is to be analyzed in a short time (same day) with the results available immediately. Which of the following electrophoresis procedures will satisfy those conditions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capillary electrophoresis is known for its high resolution and speed, making it a good choice for analyzing small fragments of nucleic acid in a short time. It uses a narrow capillary tube and an electric field to separate molecules based on their size, charge, and shape. The results can be obtained immediately after the electrophoresis run. The other three options listed are not suitable for a quick analysis of small DNA fragments.
