We genotype a lot of mice and this works well with agarose gels. Bands are easily detectable and it's easy to increase or decrease the density of the gel depending on the size of the bands you're trying to identify.
Agarose gels for genotyping
DNA
Dilute stock GelRed and mix with appropriate amount of agarose. Boil solution and pour into gel mold. Run gel at 120 V until samples have run to bottom of gel.
Swirl agarose solution every 15 to 20 seconds to prevent boiling over
Gels always turn out well and genotyping bands are clearly visible
None
Easy to use
Can boil over if microwaved for too long or use too small of a flask
We've used this for years and it lasts a long time so it's worth the cost.
