What is Electrophoresis?
Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate charged particles (ions, molecules, or cells) by their migration through a medium under the influence of an applied electric field. Particles with different sizes and charges move at different rates. Gel electrophoresis is widely used in biochemistry and molecular biology to separate DNA fragments, RNA, and proteins.
