What are the Different Types of Electrophoresis Used in Nanotechnology?
Several types of electrophoresis techniques are employed in nanotechnology, including:
Capillary Electrophoresis (CE): This method uses narrow capillaries to separate nanoparticles with high resolution and speed. Gel Electrophoresis: Although traditionally used for biomolecules, modified gel electrophoresis can also separate nanoparticles based on size. Dielectrophoresis (DEP): This technique utilizes non-uniform electric fields to manipulate particles that exhibit dielectric properties, making it useful for sorting nanoparticles.
