Triple restriction digest?

[SURESH KUMAR K.G.]

Hello,

Run a longer agarose gel (may be 24cm) for a longer time.
You should be able to separate them quite easily.
3.5 and 2.5 kb should get separated in a normal sized (12cm) 0.8% agarose
gel also, if you run them for a longer time.

Hope this helps.
regards
Suresh
