Introduction Father of electrophoresis: Arne Tiselius (Nobel Prize in 1948) Electrophoresis is a physical method of analysis which involves separation of the compounds that are capable of acquiring electric charge in conducting electrodes. Electrophoresis separates the biomolecules like proteins, nucleic acids, amino acids etc. according to their size, shape, chemical charge etc. Movement of positively charged ion towards negatively charged electrode refers to “ Cataphoresis ”. Movement of negatively charged ion towards the positively charged electrode refers to “ Anaphoresis ”.
Defination of Electrophoresis “ Electrophoresis may be defined as the migration of the charged particle through a solution under the influence of an external electrical field.” Supporting media Paper Gel Cellulose acetate

Type of Electrophoresis
Free Electrophoresis: In this type of electrophoresis a free electrolyte is taken in place of supporting media. It is mostly of two types micro-electrophoresis moving boundary electrophoresis mostly used in non-biological experiments. Free Flow Electrophoresis is an electrophoresis procedure working continuously in the absence of a stationary phase (or solid support material such as a gel).
Zone Electrophoresis: It involves the migration of the charged particle on the supporting media can be Paper, Cellulose acetate membrane, Starch Gel, Polyacrylamide . Components separated are distributed into discrete zone on the support media. Supporting media is saturated with buffer solution, small volume of the sample is applied as narrow band.
Paper Electrophoresis Used - separation of small charged molecules such as amino acids and small proteins Filter paper was the first anti-convection medium to be widely used The support medium is a filter paper
Gel electrophoresis Used - separation of DNA, RNA or proteins. Gel material acts as a "molecular sieve”. Gel is a colloid in a solid form (99% is water). Types of gels :- Agar and Agarose gel, Starch, Sephadex , Polyacrylamide gels.
Agarose gel electrophoresis Agarose gel the supporting media in the electrophoresis. used - the electrophoresis of DNA , RNA and Protein
Pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE ) This technique is invented by Schwartz and Cantor in 1984. used - separate large DNA molecule DNA fragments up to 10 mb can be separated by this technique
