Electrophoresis System

Electrophoresis systems are essential laboratory instruments used to separate and analyze charged molecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins based on their size and charge. These systems employ an electric field applied across a gel matrix, causing molecules to migrate through the gel at different rates. This separation allows researchers to visualize and analyze complex mixtures, determine molecular weights, and assess purity. Leading manufacturers such as Bio-Rad, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Agilent offer a variety of electrophoresis systems, including horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis apparatuses, power supplies, and imaging systems, supporting workflows in molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics research. These systems are integral to techniques such as SDS-PAGE, agarose gel electrophoresis, and capillary electrophoresis, contributing to... + More
