English

Subject field(s)
  • Bioengineering
  • Electrokinetics
DEF

Technique for separating molecules based on their differential mobility in an electric field.

CONT

The principles of electrophoresis ... can be simply stated as the acceleration of charged particles in an electric field; this is opposed by friction due to passage through the surrounding medium such that the particles move at a constant speed proportional to their charge.

OBS

[Electrophoresis] is used routinely to separate the protein fractions of serum, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid; to separate serum lipoproteins; to separate the lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase isoenzymes; and to detect hemoglobin variants. It is also used in conjunction with immunodiffusion to separate proteins and identify them by antigenic differences.

PHR

Agarose gel, gel, paper, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Technique biologique
  • Électrocinétique
DEF

Technique physicochimique permettant la séparation de diverses substances contenues dans un mélange, grâce à leur différence de mobilité sous l'influence d'un champ électrique (courant continu) [...]

OBS

[La] mobilité [des molécules], en présence d'une solution tampon de pH déterminé, est fonction, suivant le support utilisé, de la taille, de la forme, et surtout de la charge électrique de ces molécules.

PHR

Électrophorèse continue, sur gel, sur gel d'agarose, sur gel de polyacrylamide, sur papier, sur support.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Bioingeniería
  • Electrocinética
DEF

Método de fraccionamiento molecular basado en diferencias de movilidad en un campo eléctrico que es función de la carga de la molécula.
