What Role Do Electric Fields Play in Histological Staining Techniques?
Electric fields are central to electrophoresis, a technique used to separate macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids based on their size and charge. In histology, electrophoresis can be used to analyze tissue samples by separating and identifying different protein components. Additionally, electroporation is a technique that uses electric fields to introduce substances, such as dyes or genetic material, into cells, enhancing the staining and labeling of tissues.
