The basis behind agarose gel electrophoresis is manipulating the highly negative charge held by DNA. When placed in an electric current, the negatively charged DNA will be drawn towards the positive charge. In the case of the agarose gel electrophoresis, an agarose gel, a polysaccharide matrix often used in separation techniques, (approximately 0.7-2% agarose) and buffer mixture acts
