electrophoretic transfer

Electrophoretic transfer is a laboratory technique used to move proteins or DNA from a gel onto a membrane, making them easier to analyze. It involves placing the gel in contact with a special membrane and applying an electric field, which causes the negatively or positively charged molecules to migrate onto the membrane. This process ensures the molecules are transferred efficiently and maintain their pattern from the gel, allowing researchers to detect, identify, or quantify specific proteins or DNA sequences using various labeling methods. It’s a crucial step in many molecular biology and biochemistry experiments.
