Electrophoresis in an expanded stationary boundary

A method of electrophoresis in an expanded stationary boundary is described, in which a pH gradient formed in a single buffer is used. The degrees of ionization and the concentrations of the electrolytes have values at which the polyions stack and resolve simultaneously in a polyacrylamide gel. To illustrate the method, the resolving of serum proteins in a pH gradient formed by Tris-glycinate buffer is considered.
