CE-SDS (Capillary Electrophoresis-SDS)

CE-SDS (Capillary Electrophoresis-SDS) is a laboratory technique used to analyze proteins. It combines capillary electrophoresis, which separates molecules based on size and charge within a small, thin tube, with SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate), a detergent that coats proteins uniformly. This process simplifies complex protein mixtures by breaking them into individual, negatively charged protein fragments, allowing precise size measurement as they pass through the capillary. CE-SDS provides detailed information about protein purity, size, and fragmentation, making it valuable for quality control in biopharmaceuticals and protein research.
