Capillary Zone Electrophoresis:

Electrophoresis is a significant technique in analytical chemistry. The primary process is to run a charged macromolecular species against a potential by a thick semi-solid media known as gel. The species are separated according to their mass, size and charge. There are generally two categories of electrophoresis techniques used now-a-days and they are slab electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis. DNA electrophoresis, SDS- PAGE gel electrophoresis and two-dimensional SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis are typical instances of slab electrophoresis whereas Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE), Capillary Gel Electrophoresis (CGE), Capillary Isotachophoresis (CITP), Capillary Isoelectric Focusing (CIEF) is the applications of capillary electrophoresis. Both the methods are used for the separation of DNA proteins and other macromolecules.
