Chromatography and electrophoresis are the most common techniques available for the separation of mixtures. For the analysis of large molecules, capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) was not introduced until the late 1980s, well after most chromatographic techniques. Guttman et al.,1 Cohen et al.,2 and Kasper et al.,3 all independently, combined the principles of slab gel electrophoresis with the...

The objective of this study was to characterize and compare the water and salt soluble proteins from rat liver and muscle by using sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and sodium dodecyl sulphate polymer-filled capillary gel electrophoresis (SDS-CGE). The evaluation and comparison of separations realized with the use of both techniques was done. It was found tha...
