| disc gel | Confusingly, nothing to do with shape, gels in which there is a discontinuity in pH or gel concentration or buffer composition. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| electrophoresis, agar gel | Electrophoresis in which agar or agarose gel is used as the diffusion medium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| electrophoresis, gel, pulsed-field | Electrophoresis in which the direction of the electric field is changed periodically. This technique is similar to other electrophoretic methods normally used to separate double-stranded DNA molecules ranging in size up to tens of thousands of base-pairs. However, by alternating the electric field direction one is able to separate DNA molecules up to several million base-pairs in length. (12 Dec 1998) |
| electrophoresis, gel, two-dimensional | Electrophoresis in which a second perpendicular electrophoretic transport is performed on the separate components resulting from the first electrophoresis. This technique is usually performed on polyacrylamide gels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| electrophoresis, polyacrylamide gel | Electrophoresis in which a polyacrylamide gel is used as the diffusion medium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| electrophoresis, starch gel | Electrophoresis in which a starch gel (a mixture of amylose and amylopectin) is used as the diffusion medium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
