Definitions and meanings of "Electrophoresis"

What do we mean by electrophoresis?

The migration of charged colloidal particles or molecules through a stationary medium under the influence of an applied electric field usually provided by immersed electrodes. noun

A method of separating substances, especially proteins, and analyzing molecular structure based on the rate of movement of each component in a colloidal suspension while under the influence of an electric field. noun

The motion of charged molecules or particles in a liquid medium under the influence of an electric field; particles with a positive charge move toward the cathode and negative to the anode. noun

The application of the principle of electrophoresis to separate molecules, used as an analytical or preparative technique. noun

The migration of electrically charged molecules through a medium under the influence of an electric field noun

A method for the separation and analysis of large molecules (such as proteins) by migrating a colloidal solution of them through a gel; gel electrophoresis noun

The motion of charged particles in a colloid under the influence of an electric field; particles with a positive charge go to the cathode and negative to the anode noun

The migration of electrically charged molecules through a medium under the influence of an electric field

(biochemistry), a method for the separation and analysis of large molecules (such as proteins) by migrating a colloidal solution of them through a gel; gel electrophoresis
