# Hint of the week: Safe time during gel electrophoresis
Published by [Dr. Manuel Franke](https://news.nippongenetics.eu/en/author/dr.-manuel-franke?hsLang=en) on Sep 9, 2020, 1:28:00 PM
For most safe stains it is know that you will get best results if agarose gels are prepared and stained freshly.
In this technical note, which you can download here, we have prepared 400 mL of Midori Green Advance stained agarose.
Also after 10 days there was no big influence in the staining of DNA.
