Abstract

An electrophoretic separation apparatus suitable for the separation of macromolecules is provided. Electrode elements are provided for generating an electric field for acting on a specimen. Rotating elements are provided for rotating the electrode elements with respect to the specimen. Using this invention, the orientation of the electric field between the electrodes is changed by the rotation of the electrode elements. This arrangement provides a high separating efficiency in a short period of operation. A method for electrophoretic separation of macromolecules is also provided.
