Electrophoresis (disambiguation)

Electrophoresis is the motion of charged dispersed particles or dissolved charged molecules relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field.

"Electrophoresis" can also refer to:

Interface and colloid science

 * Dielectrophoresis, similar motion in a space non-uniform electric field
 * Microelectrophoresis, a method of studying electrophoresis of various dispersed particles using optical microscopy
 * Electrophoretic light scattering, a method for measuring electrophoretic mobility based on dynamic light scattering

Molecular biology and biochemistry

 * Affinity electrophoresis, used to separate and characterize biomolecules on basis of their molecular characteristics through binding to another biomolecule
 * Capillary electrophoresis, commonly used to separate biomolecules by their charge and frictional forces
 * Gel electrophoresis, a technique used by scientists to separate molecules based on physical characteristics such as size, shape, or isoelectric point
 * electrophoresis of nucleic acids, a specific type of gel electrophoresis used to analyse DNA and RNA
 * electrophoresis of proteins, a specific type of gel electrophoresis used to analyse proteins
 * QPNC-PAGE, quantitative preparative native continuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, commonly used to analyse metal cofactor-containing proteins
 * SDS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, commonly used to analyse proteins
 * two-dimensional electrophoresis, a specific type of gel electrophoresis commonly used to analyse proteins which involves two separation mechanisms to separate molecules
 * Immunoelectrophoresis, used to separate and characterize biomolecules on basis their molecular characteristics as well as binding of antibodies

Medicine

 * Iontophoresis, a way of rapidly administering drugs through the skin

Media support

 * Electrophoretic display, a device that displays media contents using charged pigment particles in an applied electric field

Other

 * Electrophoresis (journal)
