Introduction:

Gel Electrophoresis is a widely used technique in the field of molecular biology. It is used for the separation of a variety of biomolecules such as DNA, proteins and so on. This technique is also used to validate the experiments of gene cloning. Gel electrophoresis is used to separate the molecules on the basis of their properties such as mass, charge, and size (length).
