Electrophoresis vs. Immunoelectrophoresis

Electrophoresisnoun

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

Immunoelectrophoresisnoun

A technique, using a combination of protein electrophoresis and an antigen-antibody interaction, to separate mixtures of proteins and identify them.

Electrophoresisnoun

(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

Immunoelectrophoresisnoun

electrophoresis to separate antigens and antibodies.

Electrophoresisnoun

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.

Immunoelectrophoresisnoun

electrophoresis to separate antigens and antibodies

Electrophoresisnoun

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

Electrophoresisnoun

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

Electrophoresis

Electrophoresis (from the Greek meaning ) 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.
