Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The quantum efficiency may be given either as a function of wavelength or as energy. If all photons of a certain wavelength are absorbed and the resulting minority carriers are collected, then the quantum efficiency at that particular wavelength is unity. The quantum efficiency for photons with energy below the band gap is zero. 4, record 1, English, - quantum%20efficiency

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Iso-electric focusing: A technique for separating proteins according to their iso-electric points. The mixture of proteins is placed in a pH gradient established by ampolines in an electric field across a liquid or a gel matrix; the proteins move in the electric field until they reach their iso-electric points in the pH gradient where, having lost net charge, they are focused. 2, record 2, English, - isoelectric%20point
