    Gel electrophoresis and chromatography are techniques used to separate DNA samples or molecules based on their size and charge. Gel electrophoresis involves adding enzymes to cut DNA samples before placing them in a gel and applying an electric current, causing the samples to separate based on their size as smaller molecules move farther through the gel. Chromatography uses paper and a solvent to separate samples, with smaller molecules traveling farther up the paper as the solvent moves them along the surface. Both techniques allow analysis of samples by separating components based on physical properties.

    Gel Electrophoresis and Chromatography

    Animation

    Click on the Chromotography Paper

    1. What is the purpose of using chromotography paper?

    Click “Show Me”


    2. What does the solvent do when the paper is placed into it?

    3. Where did the smaller molecules move on the paper vs. the larger
    molecules?

    When you get to the end of the Chromotography Animation,


    Click “Menu” and then click “View the process of Gel
    Electrophoresis”

    1
    4. What is added to the DNA samples so that they may be “cut” before
    they are analyzed?

    5. What charge do the DNA samples that have been cut move toward?

    6. Why does each sample separate differently?
