Abstract

We propose an electrophoretic technique combining the use of a series of dielectric traps controlled by an ac electric field and conventional continuous field free-flow electrophoresis. From the theoretical model that we describe, one can expect, for DNA electrophoresis, an improvement of one to two orders of magnitude in the selectivities or experimental durations.
