Definition: Electrophoresis in which discontinuities in both the voltage and pH gradients are introduced by using buffers of different composition and pH in the different parts of the gel column. The term 'disc' was originally used as an abbreviation for 'discontinuous' referring to the buffers employed, and does not have anything to do with the shape of the separated zones.
disc stands for "discontinous"; NIM
Other names Disk Electrophoresis; Disc Electrophoresis; Electrophoresis, Disk
