Description
Electrophoresis gel analysis. Electrophoresis gel being studied by a researcher. Electrophoresis is used to determine the protein composition of an organism or tissue sample. An electrical current is passed through a gel containing the sample, which has been stained with a protein specific dye. The electric current causes different proteins to move at different speeds through the gel, thereby isolating one protein from another. This technique is often applied to establish the genetic composition of an organism.
