The transport of fluid in and around nanometer-sized objects with at least one characteristic
dimension below 100 nm enables the occurrence of phenomena that are impossible at …

The dramatic recent advances in molecular biology, which have opened a new era in
medicine and biotechnology, rely on improved techniques to study large molecules …

Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis: A Practical Guide is the first laboratory manual to describe
the theory and practice of this technique. Based on the authors' experience developing …

Picking up at the conclusion of Viovy's review of the physics of gel electrophoresis [J.-L.
Viovy, Rev. Mod. Phys. 72, 813 (2000) 10.1103/RevModPhys. 72.813], this review …

DNA electrophoretic mobilities are highly dependent on the nature of the matrix in which the
separation takes place. This review describes the effect of the matrix on DNA separations in …

A novel technique that can rapidly separate long-strand polymers according to length is
presented. The separation mechanism is mediated by a confinement-induced entropic force …

Micro‐and nanofabrication techniques have provided an unprecedented opportunity to
create a designed world in which separation and fractionation technologies which normally …

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was originally developed as a technique for
providing electrphoretic karyotypes of micro-organisms. Since then the technique has …

In this review we evaluate existing experimental methods for the electrophoretic size
separation of nucleic acids, including both slab gel electrophoresis and capillary …

The problem of (thermal) band broadening during DNA gel electrophoresis is studied
analytically and numerically using the reptation model. It is shown that the orientation of the …
