Back when I was working for the Division of Bio-Sciences at that Jayhawk University I couldn't hardly turn around without
bumping into someone in the labs who was doing electrophoresis. I was curious about it enough back then to want to know
what they were up to and learned that it was a way of separating proteins and things like RNA and DNA from a sample. You
mix it with a gel (a polymer for example) and apply an electric current across it and it will separate migrating towards one pole
or the other of the voltage differential. I didn't ever thing it was something I could do at home, but I was wrong!I first heard
about this on a Science Blog and promptly forgot about it but now I find that it's explained at this website:
