I am trying to simulate (in Comsol) electric field through an electrophoresis system and need an approx. value for the dielectric constant/relative permittivity of any kind of gel (like PAGE or agarose) etc. Any ideas?

Md. Moniruzzaman

For SDS-PAGE it is 100 V for 90 min. You can change the volt from 90-110 and also the time point. but the time should not be less than 90 min.
