Agarose Gels

[Biology Department]

	Recently, our gels have been running slanted--if you view the gel 
from the side the bands are diagonal to the horizontal plane of the gel.  
We have remade our buffer (1XTAE) but this does not seem to help.  Any 
suggestions as to the cause of this problem?  The major difficulty is 
that if you view the gels from above the bands appear fuzzy and wide 
instead of sharp. Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
