Centrifugation is a process that involves the use of the centrifugal force of the sedimentation of heterogenous mixtures with a centrifuge and used to separate two immiscible liquids.
Electrophoresis is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field to separate molecules.
ELISA is the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay which is a test that uses antibodies and color change to identify a substance.
