It is the basis for a technique to separate proteins and nucleic acids, a process that depends on both the electric current applied and the charges of the molecules being separated.
It can be used to measure the zeta potential of a dispersed particle in a dispersion medium, and also for the deposition of colloidal particles onto an electrode, a process known industrially as electrocoating. It is the basis for a technique to separate proteins and nucleic acids, a process that depends on both the electric current applied and the charges of the molecules being separated. In that common technique, the electromotive force moves molecules through a polyacrylamide or agarose matrix. FTP, name this electrokinetic phenomena in which charged particles in a fluid move with the application of an electric field, the most common type being the gel variety.
