What Does OFAGE Stand For?

OFAGE stands for Orthogonal Field Alternation Gel Electrophoresis

OFAGE, or Orthogonal Field Alternation Gel Electrophoresis, is an advanced electrophoretic technique used for the separation of biomolecules, particularly nucleic acids and proteins. This method enhances resolution and separation efficiency by applying alternating electric fields at orthogonal angles, allowing for the effective separation of macromolecules based on size and shape. OFAGE is particularly useful in genomic and proteomic research, where precision in analyzing complex mixtures is essential.
