Gradient Gels electrophoresis are performed using gradient of  acrylamide Concentration that varies uniformly from, typically, 5% at the top of the gel to 25% acrylamide at the bottom of the gel.

There are two major advantages to running gradient gels. 

First, a much greater range of protein Mr values can be separated than on a fixed- percentage gel.

The second advantage of gradient gels is that proteins with very similar M r values may be resolved.

Isoelectric Focusing Gels is based on the separation of molecules according to their different isoelectric points at which the show zero electrophoretic mobility.

In the Isoelectric Focusing pH gradient is formed by the introduction into the gel of compounds known as ampholytes, which are complex mixtures of synthetic polyamino-polycarboxylic acids Ampholytes can be purchased in different pH ranges covering a wide band (e.g. pH 3–10).
