What Does TAFE Stand For?

TAFE stands for Transverse Alternating Field Electrophoresis

Transverse Alternating Field Electrophoresis (TAFE) is a specialized laboratory technique used to separate nucleic acids, proteins, or other macromolecules based on their size and charge. By applying an alternating electric field that varies in direction and intensity, TAFE enhances the resolution of separation, allowing for the effective analysis of complex biological samples. This method is particularly useful in genetic research, genomics, and proteomics, where precise separation is critical for subsequent analysis and characterization.
