The early 19th century observation that clay particles in water moved toward the positive electrode under an electric field laid the foundation of protein electrophoresis. Over the years, a series of technological leaps, from the invention of western blotting to the development of automated western analysis, have propelled protein detection and analysis, reaching new levels of sensitivity, speed, and accuracy.
