Electrophoresis 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 called cataphoresis, while electrophoresis of negatively charged particles (anions) is called anaphoresis.

When you need to choose electrophoresis you should consider the following:
- Power Supply-you can choose with different watt
- Gel Electrophoresis Systems – you can choose in different sizes
- Gel Dryers - you can use before documenting the result
- Documentation system - includes a direct connection to the computer
- Extra: UV Transluminators - used to observe the gel in addition to recording it with the documentation system .
What is Gel electrophoresis
Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments.An electric current is used to move molecules to be separated through a gel.The molecules will move faster or slower based on their size and electric charge.An electric current is applied across the gel so that one end of the gel has a positive charge and the other end has a negative charge.The gel consists of a permeable matrix, a bit like a sieve, through which molecules can travel when an electric current is passed across it.
