"The technique of electrophoresis is used to separate macromolecules in a fluid, based on their charge, binding affinity and more under the electric field. First observed by Ferdinand Frederic Reuss in the year 1807, the technique now has a wide application range in analysing and separating biomolecules such as nucleic acids, RNA, plasmids and much more. Once placed under the electric field, the charged molecules move towards either the positive pole or the negative pole based on their respective charges. The reasons behind the technique being so widely employed in the field of biology and biochemistry around world are varied. Primarily, it helps you to separate different DNA fragments of various lengths. It thus distinguishes and isolates DNA fragments further. To know more, visit the PPT."
