Difference between electrophoresis and chromatography?

Electrophoresis and chromatography are the laboratory techniques, used on different matters of state that observe the behavior of molecules under different conditions to derive at the result and separation of mixtures. The description of the motion of the particles of a compound or an element in a medium that is under constant electric field is known as electrophoresis. The separation of a mixture that contains different compounds or elements is achieved by chromatography. Chromatography has more commercial use and is used for large volumes whereas electrophoresis is basically an investigative technique used on microscopic level. Chromatography can be used for liquid, solid and gaseous compounds whereas electrophoresis is generally carried out on liquid and solid compounds. In electrophoresis the electrical property of the element is used whereas in chromatography partition coefficient of the element is used to carry out the investigations and separation.
