Gel ran at 100V (intially started at 300V for a few seconds and then pansied out) and 60mA. Immediate illumination could be seen in the well with the ladder.

gel electrophoresis
If the PCR failed, I expect the DNA not to migrate. I am loading 5ul DNA sample with 1ul x 6x DNA running buffer (glycerol + bromophenol blue). Samples were loaded as follows:
