    Study Notes

    Gel Electrophoresis

    • The purpose of using Corning in the preparation of electrophoresis is to polymerize the gel.
    • Gel electrophoresis is commonly used in medical diagnostics for DNA sequencing and detecting genetic mutations.
    • A comb is used during the preparation of a gel for electrophoresis to create wells for loading samples.

    Chromatography

    • The two main components required for all chromatographic methods are the stationary phase and mobile phase.
    • An example of adsorption chromatography is chromatography using a column containing silica gel or alumina.
    • The components required for electrophoresis are not adsorbent and mobile phase, but rather stationary phase and mobile phase.

    Spectrophotometry

    • The light energy absorbed and emitted is called transmittance.

    Electrophoresis Techniques

    • The voltage can be increased to improve separation in electrophoresis.
    • Using a different type of gel or comparing with known standards can also improve separation in electrophoresis.
