Electrophoresis is the migration of electrically charged particles or ions in solutions due to an applied electric field. The ability to separate very similar substances including different proteins for analytical and preparative purposes has increased, especially since 1950, owing to the introduction of zone electrophoresis in paper and later in gels of polyacrylamide or agarose. After 1960, disc and displacement electrophoresis (isotachophoresis) and isoelectric focusing offered much increased resolution. Electrophoretic methods nowadays promote advances in biochemistry and molecular biology and will continue to be very important in science and for numerous applications in genetics, gene technology, sequencing of nucleic acids and proteins, studies of diseases and malfunctions including cancer, and in the identification of species and individuals,e.g., in forensic medicine.
