Back

What is gel electrophoresis?

Front

the separation of charges molecules using an electric field. Also a basic biotechnology technique to separate macromolecules according to charge and size with a positive anode and a negative cathode. Molecules with net negative charges migrate to the positive end and vice a versa.

Back
