Abstract: The invention concerns an electrophoretic process for the investigation, analysis, and/or production, especially immunoelectrophoretic, of chemical substances, in which the substances are transported in aqueous solution in a gel carrier medium. For inhibiting or stabilizing convective transport under the action of an electric field, the aqueous solution contains reagents which form precipitates with the substances to be determined quantitatively. Due to electrophoretic transport in the aqueous phase of the carrier medium these reagents result in the production of precipitation over a migration distance which is proportional to the amount of the substances being determined.

Abstract: An electrophoresis device includes first and second electrode vessels for containing buffer solution and adapted to be connected to poles of a direct current source. A plurality of vertical channels containing carrier medium have opposite ends opening into the first and second electrode vessels. At least one of the electrode vessels has a cavity into which commonly open adjacent ends of the channels. A sealing piece is operable to seal in an airtight manner the cavity and thereby the ends of the channels from the interior of the electrode vessel. A connection extends through the sealing piece to the cavity to connect the cavity and the interiors of the channels to a source of overpressure or underpressure.

Abstract: Device for the continuous electrophoresis in a carrier free buffer current including a separating chamber, in which a separating space is located between two plane parallel glass plates held in a two-part frame and is separated from electrode chambers by permeable membranes. A dividing joint is provided between two frame-parts at least partially at an angle to a dividing plane of the frame located between and parallel to the glass plates. The membranes, when the frame-parts are pressed together along the dividing joint, are pressed against the surfaces of the frame-parts which form a part of the dividing joint, with a force component lying in the direction of the dividing plane, thus forming a seal. The separating chamber permits easy assembly and disassembly thereof.
