| blood protein electrophoresis | Electrophoresis applied to blood proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| capillary electrophoresis | A technique for separating compounds, a sample of a compound to beseparated is placed in a capillary tube, which is then subjected to ahigh voltage current that separates its chemical components. (09 Oct 1997) |
| capillary zone electrophoresis | A method for separating molecules extremely rapidly based on their electrophoretic mobility. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gamaglobulin electrophoresis | <investigation> A test that detects and measures the various immunoglobulins in the blood. In the normal assay no monoclonal antibodies are detected. 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). (27 Sep 1997) |
| carrier electrophoresis | Electrophoresis done on a carrier (such as paper, polyacrylamide gel, etc.). (05 Mar 2000) |
| cell electrophoresis | <technique> A method for estimating the surface charge of a cell by looking at its rate of movement in an electrical field. Almost all eukaryotic cells have a net negative surface charge. Measurement is complicated by the streaming potential at the wall of the chamber itself and by the fact that the cell is surrounded by a layer of fluid (see double layer). The electrical potential measured (the zeta potential) is actually some distance away from the plasma membrane. One of the more useful modifications is to systematically vary the pH of the suspension fluid to determine the pK of the charged groups responsible (mostly carboxyl groups of sialic acid). (26 Mar 1998) |
| multi locus enzyme electrophoresis | Inhibition of translation of the transcript of a transposase gene by a multicopy plasmid with suitable inhibitory gene. The plasmid inhibits transposition events in the host bacterium. (18 Nov 1997) |
| haemoglobin electrophoresis | <investigation> A special diagnostic procedure which identifies abnormal haemoglobin proteins by the way they migrate in an electric field (electrophoresis). The electric field is used to separate haemoglobin proteins from each other and allow the identification of different components. This can be used to diagnose thalassaemia, sickle cell disease and haemoglobin C disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pulse field electrophoresis | <investigation> A method used for high resolution electrophoretic separation of very large (megabase) fragments of DNA. Electric fields 100 |
| serum immunoglobulin electrophoresis | A test that detects and measures the various immunoglobulins in the blood. In the normal assay no monoclonal antibodies are detected. 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). (27 Sep 1997) |
| 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. (09 Oct 1997) |
| 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). (30 Mar 1998) |
| 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) |
