pulse-field electrophoresis
- pulse-field electrophoresis
-
A method used for high-resolution electrophoretic separation of very large (megabase) fragments of DNA. Electric fields 100° apart (the angle may vary) are applied to the separation
gel alternately. The continuous change of direction prevents the molecules aligning in the electric field and greatly improves
resolution on the axis between the two fields.
