Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate DNA, RNA, or protein molecules based on their charge by applying an electric field. In this process, an electric current moves the molecules through a gel or other matrix. Electrophoresis also enables researchers to measure antibiotic concentrations, helping improve dosage accuracy.

The main products in electrophoresis are electrophoresis reagents, electrophoresis systems, gel documentation systems, and electrophoresis software. Electrophoresis reagents are substances or mixtures designed to facilitate the separation and analysis of samples during electrophoresis. This technique is applied in research, diagnostics, quality control, and process validation and is used by academic and research institutes, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, hospitals, and other end users.
