Preparing slide gels
Slide agarose gels can be run in 7 minutes and give great resolution of DNA samples. Multiple gels can be prepared at once and saved for up to a month. Slide gels use only 0.12 g of agarose per gel which reduces the cost of running gels. See the accompanying video “Running slide gels” below.
Gel recipe: 10 mL 1x TAE buffer, 0.12 g agarose –> boil by microwave until dissolved (about 45 sec on our microwave) —> add 0.5 µL 10 mg/mL ethidium bromide

Very nice and clear demonstration
Like!! Really appreciate you sharing this blog post.Really thank you! Keep writing.
What are the measurements of your glass plate? Is it necessary to use a glass plate or can I use another type of material such as plastic?
The glass plate can vary in dimensions but it should fit your gel box. Glass is better than plastic.
