Electro-osmosis is the migration of supporting medium counterions and solvent toward the appropriate electrode.This net flow of counterions and solvent is in the opposite direction to the migration of the macromolecules of interest.Which of the following statements best describes the effect of electro-osmosis?
A) Electro-osmosis will only affect the final positions of the macromolecules but not their separation.
B) Electro-osmosis will prevent macromolecule separation from occurring.
C) Electro-osmosis is the mechanism by which electrophoretic separation of macromolecules occurs.
D) Electro-osmosis only occurs in capillary electrophoresis and is the mechanism of separation in the relatively new technique.
