Electrophoresis, a technique that uses electric fields to separate charged particles, has numerous applications across various fields. It’s used to analyze and purify DNA, RNA, and proteins, crucial for research in genomics, proteomics, and biomedicine. Specific applications include DNA fingerprinting in forensic science, diagnosis of genetic disorders, and analysis of proteins in medical samples.
Overview
- Condition: New
Features:
- Electric Field:
- A fundamental principle involves applying an electric field to the sample, which causes charged particles to migrate towards the opposite electrode.
- Separation Medium:
- Electrophoresis utilizes a medium, like a gel, to separate molecules based on their mobility through the matrix.
