The development of recycle zone electrophoresis

Abstract:
Milan Bier's contributions to preparative electrophoresis and, in particular, his work in "recycling", have had an enormous impact on the development of scaling strategies for continuous flow electrophoresis. This paper reviews my early work on the theory of recycle applied to zone electrophoresis and reports the results of several recent experiments in which proteins were purified from complex feed mixtures using recycle zone electrophoresis.

DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
In cloning experiments, both the insert and vector DNA...
SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
The first dimension separation uses the isoelectric focusing or IEF technique performed on immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips that separate proteins according to their isoelectric points.
