| disc electrophoresis | Short for discontinuous electrophoresis, it is a type of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This electrophoresis method uses gels of two different concentrations of polyacrylamide (a synthetic polymer), the one of lower concentration stacked on top of the one with higher concentration, in order to better resolve bands of whatever is being separated (DNA, RNA, or protein) that would otherwise be very close together.

| immunoglobulin electrophoresis | <immunology, investigation> A test that detects and measures the various immunoglobulins in the blood. In the normal assay no monoclonal antibodies are detected but in multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia a single clone of lymphocytes can produce one type of immunoglobulin that is detected in the electrophoresis as monoclonal (made by one cell clone).

| isoenzyme electrophoresis | Electrophoretic separation of serum enzymes; separation of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase is commonly used for diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thin-layer electrophoresis | Electrophoretic migrations (separations) through a thin layer of inert material, such as cellulose, supported on a glass or plastic plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Tiselius electrophoresis cell | The special container in a Tiselius apparatus containing the solution to be analyzed electrophoretically. (05 Mar 2000) |
| two dimensional gel electrophoresis | <technique> A high resolution separation technique in which protein samples are separated by isoelectric focussing in one dimension and then laid on an SDS gel for size determined separation in the second dimension. Can resolve hundreds of components on a single gel. (18 Nov 1997) |
| zone electrophoresis | <chemistry, procedure> A type of electrophoresis used by physical chemists. In it, the components of a mixture are separated into distinct zones by moving the solution through a porous medium such as filter paper. (06 May 1997) |
| free electrophoresis | Electrophoresis of substances placed in a solution in a U-shaped tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipoprotein electrophoresis | Electrophoretic separation of plasma lipoproteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
