There are numerous applications of electrophoresis. Routine protein electrophoresis performed in clinical laboratories is the oldest method and therefore the most frequently used method. With the advent of molecular diagnostics, several other electrophoresis methods have become very important, highly automated, and have several important applications.
Types of electrophoresis that will be discussed are
- Routine electrophoresis
- High resolution electrophoresis
- Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
- Capillary electrophoresis
- Isoelectric focusing
- Immunochemical electrophoresis
- Two-dimensional electrophoresis
- Pulsed field electrophoresis
