Exploring the Application and Breakthroughs of Novel Electrophoresis Techniques in Protein Band Analysis

Protein electrophoresis is a commonly used analysis method for separating and identifying proteins. To overcome the limitations of traditional electrophoresis technology and improve the analysis effect, researchers continue to explore and develop novel electrophoresis techniques in protein band analysis.

 

Limitations of Traditional Electrophoresis Technology

Traditional electrophoresis technologies mainly include gel electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis. Gel electrophoresis is commonly used for the determination and separation of protein molecular weight, but it has limitations in terms of resolution, sensitivity, and analysis speed. Capillary electrophoresis has the advantages of high resolution and rapid analysis, but it has high requirements for sample pretreatment and instrument operation, and still faces limitations in analysis speed and application scope.
