Gel electrophorei ikoresha ibiciro byiza nibibi kugirango itandukanye ibice byashizwemo. Ibice birashobora kwishyurwa neza, kwishyurwa nabi, cyangwa kutabogama. Ibice byashizwemo bikururwa nuburyo bunyuranye: Ibice byashizwemo neza bikururwa nuburyo bubi, naho ibice byashizwemo nabi bikururwa nibyiza.Kubera ko ibiciro bitandukanye bikurura, dushobora gutandukanya ibice dukoresheje sisitemu ya electrophorei. Nubwo sisitemu ya electrophoreis ishobora kugaragara cyane, mubyukuri biroroshye. Sisitemu zimwe zishobora kuba zitandukanye; ariko, bose bafite ibi bice bibiri byibanze: Amashanyarazi nUrugereko rwa Electrophoresis. Dutanga amashanyarazi yombi hamwe na electrophoresis chamber / tank. Dufite uburyo butandukanye bwa electrophoreis kugirango uhitemo. Byombi bihagaritse electrophorei na horizontal electrophoreis itangwa hamwe nubunini bwa gel butandukanye burashobora gukorwa nkibisabwa mubigeragezo.
