Experimental Electrophoretic Techniques

 

There are a number of different procedures that utilize the electophoretic migration principle for both analytical and preparative purposes. They differ mostly in the nature of the medium that supports or carries the charges particles. The early systems were somewhat bulky and inefficient but, nevertheless, demonstrated the efficacy of the electrophoretic process. The following are some of the more common techniques employed and each, with the exception of isotachophoresis, will be discussed. The technique of isotachophoresis, however, will be the subject of a separate book.
