A Unified Mathematical Theory of Electrophoretic Processes

Three-Dimensional Molecular Simulation of Electrophoretic Separations

“…[13][14][15][16][17] However, unified models that can be used to describe all of the electrophoretic separation modes have also been developed. [18][19][20][21] Descriptions of these and other electrophoretic models can be found in several reviews. [22][23][24] These classical transport models require the formulation of detailed differential equations of mass and charge balance, together with the associated boundary conditions.…”

“…Our understanding of the fundamental processes that comprise electrophoresis has been achieved through comparison of experimental results with the predictions of theoretical models. The classical models used to describe mass transport in electrophoretic separations are usually developed to address the conditions of a specific mode of separation, such as zone electrophoresis (ZE), − moving boundary electrophoresis (MBE), isotachophoresis (ITP), 5,8-12 and isoelectric focusing (IEF). − However, unified models that can be used to describe all of the electrophoretic separation modes have also been developed. − Descriptions of these and other electrophoretic models can be found in several reviews. − …”
