ELECTROPHORESIS is an international separation science journal serving as the premier forum for advances in electrophoresis , liquid-phase separations, microfluidics and electrokinetics. We cover both fundamental aspects as well as innovative industrial and clinical applications linked to separation science, welcoming advances in sample preparation, methods, and analysis. Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate macromolecules in a fluid or gel based on their charge, binding affinity, and size under an electric field. In the year 1807, Ferdinand Frederic Reuss was the first person to observe electrophoresis . He was from Moscow State University. Anaphoresis is the electrophoresis of negative charge particles or anions whereas cataphoresis is electrophoresis of positive charge ions or cations. Electrophoresis has a wide application in separating and ... Liquid " droplet electrophoresis " is significantly different from the classic " particle electrophoresis " because of droplet characteristics such as a mobile surface charge and the nonrigidity of the interface. It begins with an introduction to electrophoresis and its history. It then describes various electrophoresis techniques including gel electrophoresis using agarose gel or polyacrylamide gel, capillary electrophoresis , isoelectric focusing, two-dimensional electrophoresis , and immuno electrophoresis .
