AI overview
Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique that uses an electric field to separate molecules (like DNA or proteins) based on their size and electrical charge as they move through a gel or liquid medium. It matters because it allows scientists to identify, analyze, and study these molecules, making it essential for tasks like DNA fingerprinting, disease diagnosis, and understanding how biological molecules work.

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. As a rule, these zwitterionic particles and molecules have either a positive or negative net charge, which is often characterized with zeta potential.
