The Biostream separator provides continuous, free-flow electrophoresis on a scale not previously available. Designed for the large scale purification of high value biologicals it has a capacity of up to 100 g/h of protein. The free-flow operation makes it equally suited to the electrophoresis of cells (up to 1012/h) and other particulates. Biostream separates rapidly and reproducibly. 2, record 1, English, - free%20electrophoresis

There are several types of electrophoresis, zone electrophoresis being one of the most common. In zone electrophoresis, proteins are supported on a solid so that, in addition to the electric migration forces, conventional chromatographic forces may enter into the separation efficiency. There are several types of zone electrophoresis according to the different supports. The common supports include starch gels, polyacrylamide gels, polyurethane foam, and paper. 3, record 2, English, - zone%20electrophoresis

L'introduction de la chromatographie capillaire électrocinétique micellaire par Terabe et al. en 1984 [...] a représenté un développement important de la technologie d'électrophorèse capillaire. Le principe majeur de cette technologie est basé sur le partage du soluté entre la phase micellaire et la solution. Une espèce chargée qui peut interagir avec des molécules neutres est ajoutée au tampon de séparation pour former un complexe avec l'analyte. Les micelles ont été les premiers additifs utilisés par Terabe, d'où le nom de chromatographie électrocinétique micellaire. 1, record 3, French, - chromatographie%20capillaire%20%C3%A9lectrocin%C3%A9tique%20micellaire

Méthode dérivant de l'électrophorèse de zones où le mélange protéique qui doit être analysé est soumis à un champ électrique dans un gel retardateur qui est séparé en deux portions différant par leur porosité et tamponnées à pH différents. Le mélange de protéines migre du gel le plus poreux vers le gel le moins poreux, ce processus s'accompagnant d'une modification de pH. Chaque espèce de protéines se concentre ainsi dans une zone plutôt étroite, en bandes minces, ce qui permet d'obtenir une très grande résolution, plus élevée que celle obtenue avec un tampon continu. 2, record 4, French, - %C3%A9lectrophor%C3%A8se%20discontinue
