Figure 2: Comparison of time taken for excised gel fragments to dissolve completely using generic brand A and B gel dissolving buffers, P-QG2 and P-QG3 buffer. Bar chart showing the means and standard errors of the time taken for excised gel fragments to dissolve completely using gel dissolution buffers of generic A and B, P-QG2 and P-QG3 in 3 independent experiments. Gel extractions using P-QG2 and P-QG3 were carried out using brand A’s protocol (see Supplementary Material) with the exception of varying the gel dissolution buffer GA-G1. Time taken for each excised gel to dissolve completely were determined with a timer. Gel fragments weighed around 200-300 mg and respective buffers used to dissolve gel were aliquoted accordingly. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.001 for the One-Way ANOVA.
