Electrophoresis definition:

"Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate DNA, RNA, or protein molecules based on their size and electrical charge."

Mechanism of electrophoresis:

• In the process of electrophoresis, a gel medium is placed in a container which contains the reactive molecules.
• It is also applicable in biologic molecules like DNA and RNA, such biologic molecules-based electrophoresis are called as capillary electrophoresis.
• Then electric current is passsed through the gel which enables the movement of the molecules in the gel towards the respective positive and negative electrodes.
• Also the gel has pores in them, which acts like a sieve by allowing the smaller molecules to travel faster than the larger molecules. Hence the electrophoresis can be controlled accordingly, to capture selectively the required molecules .
