Facts
Electrophoresis is a molecular separation technique that involves the use of high
voltage electric current for inducing the movement of charged molecules---proteins,
DNA, nucleic acids---in a support medium.

DNA Analysis
Electrophoresis is one way of analyzing DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the code
that contains all the traits you inherited from your parents. DNA is arranged in
sequences, for instance, one sequence represents the color of your eyes and another
sequence represents the color of your skin. Through electrophoresis, specic DNA
sequences can be analyzed, isolated and cloned. The analyzed DNA may be used in
forensic investigations and paternity tests.

Protein Analysis
Electrophoresis has advanced our understanding on the structure and function of
proteins. These molecules are needed by our body cells and may be analyzed, for
instance, by getting blood and urine samples. Then through electrophoresis, the
amount of proteins in your blood or in your urine is measured and compared to
established normal values---lower or higher than the normal levels usually indicates a
disease.
Antibiotics Analysis
The application of electrophoresis in antibiotic studies dates back to the 1950s. Further
studies led to improved electrophoretic techniques and new antibiotics. These drugs,
such as penicillin, are among the widely prescribed drugs against bacterial infections.
With electrophoresis, experts are not only able to synthesize new antibiotics but are
also able to analyze which types of bacteria are antibiotic-resistant.

Vaccine Analysis
Vaccine analysis is one of the many important applications of electrophoresis. There
are several vaccines that have been puried, processed and analyzed through
electrophoresis, such as the inuenza vaccine, hepatitis vaccine and polio vaccine. The
exact steps done in the vaccine analysis, however, cannot be determined due to
condentiality reasons of the pharmaceutical companies. Nevertheless, data reports
from vaccine manufacturers such as Wyeth, Merck and Sano-Aventis presents
electrophoresis as an effective vaccine analysis method.
