Continuous Electrophoretic Separation of Charged Dyes in Liquid Foam

A novel electrophoretic separation technique is presented, where continuous demonstrated using free flowing liquid foams. Continuous foam electrophoresis combines the principle of capillary and interactions between analytes electrical double layer, with ability Free Flow Electrophoresis to continuously separate recover automatically. used provide a network deformable micro nano channels high surface area, presenting platform for electrophoresis, interfacial phenomena could be exploited modify analyte migration. The main purpose this paper present proof-of-concept study fundamental understanding complex system in mode, i.e., under an external electric field chemical reactions at electrodes changing system. Liquid generated mixture anionic non-ionic surfactants pumped through microfluidic chamber two electrodes. effectiveness device dye containing neutral dye. At outlet, separated collected into five fractions which are individually probed concentration dyes used. was concentrated up 1.75 (±0.05) times initial select while remained unchanged all outlets, demonstrating potential separations.
