Abstract

A novel continuous pI-based sorting technique has been developed for proteins and peptides. It can continuously process samples at a relatively high flow rate of 10L/min and requires no ampholytes. The electrophoretic field required for the separation of biomolecules is generated by the diffusion of different buffer ionic species in-situ at the laminar flow junction. Using this diffusion potential, a pI-based separation of proteins and peptides has been successfully demonstrated. The resolution of the sorting technique and its efficiency were characterized by fluorescence intensity measurement, as well as by 2D protein gel electrophoresis.
