Hi, I noticed something weird during agarose gel electrophoresis. I use SYBR Green to stain the DNA. When my DNA sample shows faint bands, the ladder also looks faint. But as far as I know the ladder shouldn’t be affected by the DNA quality. On days when the DNA is good, the ladder looks bright too along with the bands. Is there a reason why both the DNA and the ladder show up faint or bright together?
