This document provides an overview of electrophoresis, a technique used to separate charged molecules using an electric field. It defines electrophoresis as the migration of charged molecules under an external electric field. The document then discusses the principle, theory, factors affecting migration, and main types of electrophoresis - including moving boundary electrophoresis, zone electrophoresis using paper, gels, capillaries, and isotachophoresis and isoelectric focusing which separate molecules based on their electric charge and isoelectric point.
