Electrophoresis reagents are substances or mixtures designed to facilitate the electrophoretic separation and analysis of samples. They are used to separate biological molecules, such as proteins and DNA, from cells. These reagents act as chemical agents that support sample analysis and enable efficient electrophoretic separation during the electrophoresis process.

The main products of electrophoresis reagents include gels (polyacrylamide, starch, and agarose), buffers (TAE buffer, TBE buffer, and others), dyes (ETBR, SYBR, bromophenol blue, and others), and additional reagents. Gels such as polyacrylamide, starch, and agarose are synthesized by free-radical polymerization of bis-acrylamide and acrylamide using a comonomer crosslinker. Polyacrylamide gels are commonly used to separate proteins via gel electrophoresis. Techniques employed with electrophoresis reagents include capillary electrophoresis and gel electrophoresis, applied for DNA, RNA, and protein analysis. End users of electrophoresis reagents include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, academic and research institutions, and others.

The electrophoresis reagents market consists of sales of electrophoresis reagents that are used for electrophoretic separation and sample analysis. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers.
