Novel method and apparatus for separating, purifying and/or concentrating ions in a mixture of different molecular species using a method of electrophoresis in the presence of a counterflowing carrier fluid are provided. By selecting the appropriate carrier fluid flow rate, magnitude of the current and varying separation characteristics in a separation chamber, one or more similarly charged species of ions can be segregated into separate or discrete equilibrium zones within the chamber. The ionic species include isotopes, proteins, antibiotics, nucleic acids and the like. |
