Mobility Measurement Principle

The Mobility Measurement Principle (MMP) dictates that the migration rate of an analyte in electrophoresis is directly proportional to its charge-to-size ratio and the electric field strength.

The statement of the theorem

Let μ\mu be the electrophoretic mobility, qq be the net charge, mm be the effective mass, and E\mathbf{E} be the electric field vector. The mobility is defined by the relationship: \nμ=qm⋅κ\mu = \frac{q}{m} \cdot \kappa \nwhere κ\kappa is a proportionality constant incorporating the medium's resistance and the field strength, such that the migration velocity v\mathbf{v} is given by v=μE\mathbf{v} = \mu \mathbf{E}.
