Paper electrophoresis is a technique used to separate molecules like proteins and amino acids based on their charge. It works by applying a low voltage across a strip of paper soaked in a buffer solution, causing charged molecules to migrate across the paper at different rates depending on their charge. Paper electrophoresis has applications in diagnostic testing by analyzing serum proteins, and can also be used to analyze proteins in muscle, eggs, milk, and snake and insect venoms.

3. PRINCPLE:
The charge carried by a molecule depends on the ph of the
medium. Electrophoresis at low voltage is not usually to
separate low molecular weight compounds because of
diffusion, but it is easier to illustrate the relationship
between charge and ph with amino acids than with
protiens or other macromolecules.

10. APPLICATIONS:
Serum analysis for diagnostic purpose is routinely
carried about by paper electrophoresis.
Muscle proteins, egg white proteins, milk proteins,
and snake insect venom analysis done by this technique.
