Abstract
A dynamic model is presented that unifies steady-state electrophoresis systems into a single theoretical frame. The model allows calculation of the ionic steady-state composition of any isotachophoresis system and in addition of a family of hitherto unexploited steady-state electrophoresis systems with compositions and properties intermediary and/or identical to isotachophoresis and zone electrophoresis systems. These new systems allow controlled adjustments of the migration velocity of a zone boundary relative to that of the spacers surrounding it. The theory allows the presence of controlled amounts of any number of different and/or identical ions on either side of a given zone boundary. The quantitative degree of deviation from the properties of isotachophoresis or zone electrophoresis systems is defined by the relative setting of two velocity constants. The model makes it possible to make a quantitative analysis of isoelectric focusing systems, even though such systems are of transient nature.
