The concentration of gel affects the resolution of DNA separation. For a standard agarose gel electrophoresis, a 0.8% gives good separation or resolution of large 5â10kb DNA fragments, while 2% gel gives good resolution for small 0.2â1kb fragments. 1% gels is often used for a standard electrophoresis.
