Electrophoresis

Electrophoresis

Electrophoresis is defined as a technique, where the migration and separation of charged particles (ions) occur under the influence of an electric field. The process does not affect the molecular structure of compounds being separated, yet it is highly sensitive to differences in molecular charge and mass of the components of the sample (Figure 1). … Read More

Gel Electrophoresis

Gel Electrophoresis

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate mixtures of DNA, RNA, or proteins according to molecular size. Charged molecules move through a gel, when an electric current is passed across it based on their size (figure 1). Gel electrophoresis is an integral part of bioscience research and engineering. DNA profiling, DNA sequencing, and genetic … Read More
