Summary

An apparatus for continuous separation of soluble and particulate macromolecules, and of other electrically charged particles by combined electrophoresis and gel filtration, is described. The two principles, electrophoresis and gel filtration, which operate simultaneously at right angles, enable separation between the various macromelecules, depending upon differences in electric charge and molecular wight. The sample to be fractionated is fed continuously into the apparatus while the separated macromolecules reaching the distal end of the instrument are collected at the outlet ports. Data for a continuous fractionation of human plasma proteins using the instrument are given.
