Protocol

 * 1) Add 500mL 1X TAE to a 1L conical flask. 1X TAE can be found in 564D above the sink.  See Sri if it is empty.
 * 2) Due to our usage rate it makes sense to prepare 2-3 of these at a time.
 * 3) Measure out 5 g of Agarose (not low melting point Agarose or Agar). Agarose is on the chemicals shelf outside 558D.
 * 4) Add the Agarose to the TAE buffer and swirl to mix.
 * 5) Microwave flask on high until the gel starts to bubble and is transparent.
 * 6) *8 mins at 100% with some shaking after 3mins seems to be perfect for two flasks in the Endy/Sauer microwave
 * 7) *Never put aluminium foil in the microwave!
 * 8) Label and store in the Peltier incubator in 564D.
