* Electrophoresed for 1 hr on an 100ml 1% agarose gel - started at 80V, settled at around 130V
* Microwaved the agarose, cooled to 50 degrees, added 5ul of ethidium bromide stock solution. (Should be 2ul EtBr to 40ml gel)
* Poured agarose into mould and waited to cool, then covered with 1% TBE.
* Put ladder into far well, template into near well
* Electrophoresed for 1 hr - started at 80V, settled at around 130V
* Visualised under UV light through orange filter - did not see any bands from the template, but ladder was visible, indicating PCR failed.
