Electrophoresis

Electrophoresis is an analytical method in which a controlled electric current is used to separate biomolecules according to their size to the electric charge ratio, using a gelatinous matrix as a base.

This technique has a variety of practical uses, such as forensic medicine for human identification, the human genome project, genetic and protein mutation research, and clinical diagnostic testing.

Electrophoresis is performed with equipment made up of a negative charge at one end and a positive charge at the other, called an electrophoresis system. When inserting charged molecules, in this environment, the negative ones will go to one extreme and the positive ones to the other corresponding.

Types of Electrophoresis a Laboratory May Need

Horizontal

Classification and differential diagnosis of monoclonal gamma myopathy are based on clinical, biologic, and radiologic standards but is still difficult in some cases. Multiple myeloma (MM) is the most common malignant gamma mastopathy with a wide repertoire of signs and symptoms. Over the past 10 years, treatment options for patients with MM have expanded significantly. Along with improvements in supportive care, these new therapies significantly prolong survival in young and older patients. However, if multiple myeloma is suspected, several procedures ensure the diagnosis; the most important tests include:

  • Blood and urine tests. They are examined for the presence of a specific protein (paraprotein) produced by malignantly growing plasma cells
  • Imaging procedures such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Examination of bone marrow samples from the iliac crest (tumor biopsy)

The importance of electrophoresis in many aspects is remarkable, but especially in the area of medicine. Since it is useful to compare samples of a healthy individual with those of a sick patient, allowing identifying nucleic acids of infectious agents; opening the way to the diagnosis of various diseases, and thus being able to treat the individual with the condition with the correct medication.

There are two types of electrophoresis chambers; the horizontal chamber where DNA and RNA are generally processed, this one has its positive pole at one end; and the vertical chamber where proteins and DNA are worked, which has the positive pole at its lower end. In both types of cameras, the negative pole can be distinguished from the positive pole, thanks to the difference in colors, since the positive pole is identified in red and the negative in black.
