With the advent of molecular diagnostics, several other electrophoresis methods have become very important, highly automated, and have several important applications.

Types of electrophoresis that will be discussed are:

  • Routine electrophoresis
  • High resolution electrophoresis
  • Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
  • Capillary electrophoresis
  • Isoelectric focusing
  • Immunochemical electrophoresis
  • Two-dimensional electrophoresis
  • Pulsed field electrophoresis
