ITP History

  • Kohlrausch: KRF function in 1897.
  • Tiselius: Moving boudnary electrophoresis, 1930
  • Longsworth: Performed moving boundary electrophoresis in 1939.
  • Martin AJP: Displacement electrophoresis (also called ITP) in 1942

for cation.

  • Everaerts and Martin: First to perform ITP in thin capillaries (200

to 500 micron) in 1963. Used HEC to suppress EOF.

ITP Optimization

  • Surface Chemistry: Suppressed EOF to minimize

advective dispersions.

  • High gradients: High LE concentration and very low

initial sample concentration (100 fM vs. 1 M or 1015 ratio)

  • Flow control: Injection protocol has

High TE concentration (maximizes local electric Peclet

number)

Requires no manual buffer exchange step (fast ITP to CZE

transition w/ minimal dispersion)

Large effective sample width LE introduced within TE region, not end of capillary (this

reduces time to overtake ITP zone)

  • Achieved 1E6 stacking in < 2 minutes
