A device and method for isoelectric focusing of ampholytes in a buffer uses a cone-shaped capillary with a positive electrode connected at a narrow end and a negative electrode connected at the wide end of the capillary. The electrical potential across the buffer creates a temperature gradient which, in turn, creates a pH gradient. The electric current also creates an electric field gradient which focuses the ampholytes. Previous devices and methods use carrier ampholytes or use temperature baths to create a temperature gradient. |
