Electrophoresis is the most known electrokinetic phenomena. It was discovered by Reuss in 1809 [1]. He observed that clay particles dispersed in water migrate under influence of an applied electric field.
Electrophoresis
(Science: technique) separation of ionic molecules, (principally proteins) by the differential migration through a gel according to the size and ionic charge of the molecules in an electrical field.

Electrophoresis
Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate DNA, RNA, or protein molecules based on their size and electrical charge. An electric current is used to move molecules to be separated through a gel.
Gel electrophoresis is a group of techniques used by scientists to separate molecules based on physical characteristics such as size, shape, or isoelectric point.
An electrophoresis technique for separation of large DNA. Alternating electrical field is applied to run DNA through a low density agarose gel matrix.

Electrophoresis of DNA
DNA fragments have a constant charge/length ratio due to the net negative charge of the phosphate backbone. Therefore, DNA migrates toward the (+) electrode.

Electrophoresis
The process in which molecules (such as proteins, DNA, or RNA fragments) can be separated according to size and electrical charge by applying an electric current to them.
