Capillary Electrophoresis
A research technology/methodology that is utilized to electrophoretically separate ions (e.g., DNA/RNA/nucleic acids, protein molecules, etc.). That separation occurs inside a tiny capillary tube, when a powerful electrical field is applied across the (length of) capillary tube; because the ions (in solution inside capillary tube) move at different speeds through the tube depending on their charges and their molecular size/weight. Optical detection systems are typically utilized to determine each of the ions (each molecule) as they emerge from the capillary tube.

Capillary electrophoresis is utilized to perform DNA sequencing, biowarfare (pathogen) detection, heterozygote detection, mutation analysis (e.g., in site-directed mutagenesis efforts), single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis, gene expression analysis, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis/'fingerprinting', quantitation of PCR (products), quantitation of RT-PCR (products), etc.
