If the electrodes were reversed on electrophoresis, the negatively charged molecules would move towards the positive electrode and positively charged molecules would move towards the negative electrode. This would result in the opposite direction of separation compared to the intended setup, potentially leading to inaccurate analysis or interpretation of the results.
Bubbles formed by the electrodes in an electrophoresis procedure are typically due to electrolysis of water. When current passes through the electrodes, water molecules are split into oxygen gas at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode, resulting in the formation of bubbles.

The main parts of electrophoresis are the gel matrix (such as agarose or polyacrylamide gel), the electrophoresis chamber (which contains electrodes for creating an electric field), and the power supply (which provides the electric current). Sample wells, buffer solutions, and a visualization method (like staining or fluorescence) are also key components.
Buffers are used in electrophoresis to maintain a constant pH, which helps to separate serum proteins based on their charge. By keeping the pH stable, the proteins retain their charges and migrate towards the electrodes at different rates, allowing for separation based on size and charge.Buffers also help maintain an optimal environment for the proteins to remain stable and active during the electrophoresis process.

In traditional "lead-acid" batteries, the electrodes are lead and lead (IV) oxide. During discharge, both electrodes dissolve in the strong acid electrolyte to form dissolved lead (II) cations. During recharge, these reactions are reversed. Other battery types, with a longer rechargeable life are used for hybrid electric-gasoline cars.
Electrophoresis is the motion of particles relative to some fluid influenced by an electric field. The voltage used will affect this electric field, and in turn affect the movement of particles.

Before gel electrophoresis, techniques like paper electrophoresis and agarose slab gel electrophoresis were used for separating and analyzing DNA or proteins. These methods were less efficient and had lower resolution compared to gel electrophoresis.
