Gel electrophoresis Gel electrophoresis is a group of techniques used by scientists to separate molecules based on physical characteristics such as size, shape, or isoelectric point. Gel electrophoresis is usually performed for analytical purposes, but may be used as a preparative technique to partially purify molecules prior to use of other methods such as mass spectrometry, PCR, cloning, DNA sequencing, or immuno-blotting for further characterization.
Gel extraction In molecular biology, gel extraction or gel isolation is a technique where viable DNA is extracted from an agarose gel following agarose gel electrophoresis in order to isolate a specific band.
