In gel electrophoresis, molecules separate on the basis of charge, molecular weight and size. Thus, if we load DNA and RNA samples in the agarose gel for electrophoresis, different type of bands will be visible on EtBr staining. In well with DNA sample, a single band will b visible, provided DNA is not degraded. In case of degradation, a smear will be seen. In well with RNA sample, two bands will be visible, at about 500-600 bp. These bands are of RNA subunits 28s and 18s.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, make sure to add an RNAse inhibitor to your RNA sample.

Iam not sure what you trying to ask,

I have performed gel electrophoresis many times. However, i used it mainly for DNA identification by the usage of restriction enzymes. I used to get RNA contamination sometimes, but it did not migrate as DNA. RNA looked very bright in colour and they remained in the wells.

to my understanding DNA and RNA are both macromolecules, so iam not sure what you mean by ''handling".
