Compare with Definitions

Electroosmosis

(physics) the migration of ions in a solvent through the capillaries of a membrane under the influence of an applied electric field

Electrophoresis

Electrophoresis (from the Greek "ηλεκτροφόρηση" meaning "to bear electrons") is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field. Electrophoresis of positively charged particles (cations) is sometimes called cataphoresis, while electrophoresis of negatively charged particles (anions) is sometimes called anaphoresis.

Electrophoresis

The migration of charged colloidal particles or molecules through a stationary medium under the influence of an applied electric field usually provided by immersed electrodes. Also called cataphoresis.

Electrophoresis

A method of separating substances, especially proteins, and analyzing molecular structure based on the rate of movement of each component in a colloidal suspension while under the influence of an electric field.

Electrophoresis

(electricity) the migration of electrically charged molecules through a medium under the influence of an electric field

Electrophoresis

(analytical chemistry) (biochemistry), a method for the separation and analysis of large molecules (such as proteins) by migrating a colloidal solution of them through a gel; gel electrophoresis

Electrophoresis

The motion of charged molecules or particles in a liquid medium under the influence of an electric field; particles with a positive charge move toward the cathode and negative to the anode.

Electrophoresis

The application of the principle of electrophoresis to separate molecules, used as an analytical or preparative technique; as, separation by electrophoresis; gel electrophoresis.

Electrophoresis

The motion of charged particles in a colloid under the influence of an electric field; particles with a positive charge go to the cathode and negative to the anode
