Basis of differentiation | Chromatography | Electrophoresis |
Definition | Chromatography is a method in which samples are separated based on how they diffuse between a stationary phase and a mobile phase | Electrophoresis is a technique in which samples are separated by their differing rates of migration in an electric field |
Uses | Chromatography can be used for liquid, solid, and gas compounds | Electrophoresis is used exclusively on liquid and solid compounds. |
Applications | Can be used for assessment of the blood | Electrophoresis can be used for the extraction of DNA fragments according to its size |
