pulsed-field electrophoresis

pulsed-field electrophoresis
a method of gel electrophoresis used to separate fragments of DNA as long as several million bases by subjecting the gel to an electrical current alternately delivered from two angles in timed intervals, which minimizes diffusion of large molecules.
