1. Electrophoresis

   Electrophoresis is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field. Electrophoresis of positively charged particles (cations) is sometimes called cataphoresis, while electrophoresis of negatively charged particles (anions) is sometimes called anaphoresis. The electrokinetic phenomenon of electrophoresis was observed for the first time in 1807 by Russian professors Peter Ivanovich Strakhov and Ferdinand Frederic Reuss at Moscow University, who noticed that the application of a constant electric field caused clay particles dispersed in water to migrate. It is ultimately caused by the presence of a charged interface between the particle surface and the surrounding fluid. It is the basis for analytical techniques used in chemistry for separating molecules by size, charge, or binding affinity. Electrophoresis is used in laboratories to separate macromolecules based on size. The technique applies a negative charge so proteins move towards a positive charge. Electrophoresis is used extensively in DNA, RNA and protein analysis.

1. electrophoresis

   Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and microbiology, to separate particles, such as proteins and nucleic acids, according to their size and electrical charge. This process involves the movement of charged particles in a fluid or gel under the influence of an electric field. Different particles migrate at different speeds depending on their size, shape and charge, allowing for their separation.
