摘要
The use of microfluidic channels formed by two electrodes made of gold or palladium to perform transverse isoelectric focusing (IEF) is presented as a means for continuous concentration and fractionation of proteins. The micro-channels were 40 mm long with an electrode gap of 1.27 mm and a depth of 0.354 mm. The properties of pH gradients formed as a result of the electrolysis of water were influenced by variation of parameters such as the initial pH, ionic strength, and flow rate. Transverse IEF in pressure-driven flow is demonstrated using bovine serum albumin in a single ampholyte buffer as well as in multiple-component buffers, Experimental results of protein focusing compare well to predictions of a mathematical model. Optimal conditions for efficient continuous fractionation of a protein mixture are summarized and discussed.
