... first presented his laws of electrolysis due to his experiments he formulated the theories of electrophoresis1. It was this procedure which was first pioneered in 1930 by a medical student working under Svedberg who had received the Nobel Prize for his own work on ultracentrifugation on proteins. The students name was Arne Wilhelm Kaurin Tiselius and it was then he published his thesis "Moving Boundary Electrophoresis" 2. He performed his experiments in a quartz U-tube using ultra violet light to photograph protein boundaries. However boundaries were often blurred in appearance caused by the heat in the solution, therefore results were not entirely accurate. It was not until 1937 he invented an electrophoresis apparatus which made it possible to obtain a much higher resolution and separation of charged molecules. The first of his experiments which were carried out with horse serum enabled the globulins to separate into three parts. Tiselius named ...
