A new class of amphiphiles bearing rigid hydrophobic groups for solubilization and stabilization of membrane proteins. In water, SDS dissolves into positively charged sodium ions and the negatively charged detergent monomers and micelles.
Under the presence of an electric field, these charged molecules experience an electrostatic force which provides additional acceleration into the tissue. This means the process is no longer relying on the passive diffusion of molecules into the tissue.
This can provide a speed increase of roughly an order of magnitude and increase your scientific throughput. With the device, you will no longer need to wait about a month for the samples to clear to check the results of your experiments, thus allowing you to make observations more efficiently.

For these reasons most electrophoresis assays are run with some detergent present usually SDS so that only one factor protein size influences the rate of migration. Detergents are amphipathic compounds with a nonpolar, hydrophobic tail and a polar, hydrophilic head group.
Due to these structural features detergents tend to aggregate into structures called micelles at high enough concentration; arranging themselves with their hydrophobic tails pointed inwards and their hydrophilic heads pointed outwards. Detergents come in three types: ionic cationic and anionic and non-ionic.
Ionic detergents such as anionic SDS are used for gel electrophoresis as they are highly useful for protein solubilization, linearization and for establishing a uniform charge in preparation for gel electrophoresis. Proteins consist of stretches of hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acids which generally fold in such a way that hydrophobic amino acids are buried in the interior of the protein and hydrophilic amino acids are on the exterior of the protein.
This tendency of proteins allows for cytoplasmic proteins to dissolve into the aqueous environment of the cell, but membrane proteins which typically have exposed hydrophobic sites that allow them to bind to or integrate into the lipid bilayer of the cell, are not typically readily soluble.
