He was born in Stockholm. Following the death of his father, the family moved to Gothenburg where he went to school, and after graduation at the local "Realgymnasium" in 1921, he studied at the University of Uppsala, specializing in chemistry. He became research assistant in The Svedberg's laboratory in 1925 and obtained his doctor's degree in 1930 on the moving-boundary method of studying the electrophoresis of proteins. From then to 1935 he published a number of papers on diffusion and adsorption in naturally occurring base_exchanging zeolites, and these studies were continued during a year's visit to H.S. Taylor's laboratory in Princeton with support of a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship. On his return to Uppsala he resumed his interest in proteins, and the application of physical methods to biochemical problems. This lead to a much improved method of electrophoretic analysis which he improved in subsequent years.
Tiselius took an active part in the reorganization of scientific research in Sweden in the years following World War II, and was President of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry 1951-1955.
He was married, with two children. He died 29 October1971 in Uppsala.

ArneTiselius was awarded the 1948 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his research in electrophoresis (the movement of molecules based on their electric charge and their size) and for his investigations into adsorption, the inclination of certain molecules to cling to particular substances.
Arne Wilhelm Kaurin Tiselius was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on August 10, 1902, to Hans Abraham J. Tiselius, who was employed by an insurance company, and Rosa Kaurin Tiselius, the daughter of a Norwegian clergyman.
Tiselius constructed the tube so that test samples could be taken at various points along the path of migration and be analyzed to determine which of the original species had made it to that point.
The Swedish biochemist Arne Wilhelm Kaurin Tiselius (1902-1971) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his researches on electrophoresis and adsorption analysis, especially for his discoveries concerning the nature of the serum proteins.
ArneTiselius, son of Dr. Hans A. Tiselius, was born in Stockholm on Aug. 10, 1902.
ArneTiselius was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1902, and he became interested in chemistry during childhood.
