Electric field gradient focusing (EFGF) uses an electric field gradient and a hydrodynamic counter flow to simultaneously separate and focus charged analytes in a channel. Previously, most EFGF devices were designed to form a linear field gradient in the channel. However, the peak capacity obtained using a linear gradient is not much better than what can be obtained using conventional CE. Dynamic improvement of peak capacity in EFGF can be achieved by using a nonlinear gradient. Numerical simulation results indicate that the peak capacity in a 4-cm long channel can be increased from 20 to 150 when changing from a linear to convex bilinear gradient. To demonstrate the increased capacity experimentally, an EFGF device with convex bilinear gradient was fabricated from poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-functionalized acrylic copolymers. The desired gradient profile was confirmed by measuring the focusing positions of a standard protein for different counter flow rates at constant voltage. Dynamically controlled elution of analytes was demonstrated using a monolith-filled bilinear EFGF channel. By increasing the flow rate, stacked proteins that were ordered but not resolved after focusing in the steep gradient segment were moved into the shallow gradient segment, where the analyte peak resolution increased significantly. In this way, the nonlinear field gradient was used to realize a dynamic increase in the peak capacity of the EFGF method.
