1 ELECTROPHORESIS SLAB (THIN LAYER GEL) AND CAPILLARY METHODS A. General Introduction Electrophoresis: a separation method based on differential rate of migration of charged species in an applied dc electric field Rate of migration Depends on charge and size Separation based on differences in charge-to-size ratios High efficiency and resolution 1
2 Historical notes Initially developed by Arne Tiselius in the 1930 s Separated serum proteins Slab gel electrophoresis: developed in the 1950 s Capillary electrophoresis: developed in the 1980 s Narrow bore tubes used Applications of electrophoresis: Separation of proteins and nucleic acids (single nucleotide differentiation capability!) The human genome Project Human DNA: ~three billion nucleotides B. Principle and Theory of Electrophoresis Basic requirements Conducting medium (aqueous buffer/ electrolyte/ run buffer) Applied Electric Field Positively charged species move to the cathode (-) Negatively charged species move to the anode (+) Two Basic Techniques 1. Free solution: narrow capillary bore (Instrumental) 2. Non-conducting matrix (Agarose, Polyacrylamide gel/page) a. Joule heating is minimal b. Sieving effect of gel allows separation of species with same charge to size ratio if they have different sizes. 2
3 Efficiency depends on: Electrophoretic mobility (µ ep ) Electroosmotic flow of the bulk solution (EOF) Joule heating B-1 Electrophoretic Mobility Ion placed in an electrical field (E) experiences force F ef that is proportional to field strength and the charge (q) on the ion (F ef =q.e) As the ion moves, a frictional force (f fr ) opposes the forward movement of the ion In a constant electrical field the velocity of particle is constant and depends on the balance between the two forces Electrophoretic mobility is the fundamental parameter which determines the efficiency of separation based on charge to size ratio (q/r) Change in ph effectively alters the charge on the ions and their electrophoretic mobility. 3
4 Electrophoretic Mobility F F ef fr = q E = 6 π η r v ep η : vis cos ity r : radius v : electropho retic migration ep velocity F ef = F fr v ep = q E 6 π η r µ ep = v E ep = q 6 π η r = const q r µ : electropho retic mobility ep B-2 Joule Heating Ohmic/Joule heating heating occurs as charged particles move within the conducting buffer upon application of an electrical field. Temperature gradient are generated leading to convective flows within the electrolyte Convective flow leads to band broadening Increase in temperature can also damage macromolecules. Method for decreasing joule heating: Decrease applied voltage- leads to long analysis time Dissipate heat- use thin gel or small diameter capillaries which have large surface-to-volume ratio. Their electrical resistance is high, thus current flow is reduced for a given voltage. 4
5 B-3 ElectoOsmotic Flow (EOF) EOF refers to migration of the bulk liquid toward the cathode Origin: formation of a double layer at the wall of the capillary. Glass, fused silica, agarose exibit surface charges Silanol groups are deprotonated at ph higher than 4. Potential difference is established Positive ions in solution migrate to the wall. A double layer is developed at the wall of the capillary. Stern layer (SL): layer of positive charge that compensate for the negative charge on the surface Diffuse layer (DL): layer adjacent to the Stern layer: layer of mobile cations SL Incomplete neutralization B-3 ElectroOsmotic Flow (EOF) Upon application of the electrical field, cations within the double layer are attracted towards the cathode and drag the bulk solvent with them. EOF is in opposite direction to analyte electrophoretic flow (generally) EOF is practically equal across the capillary, thus band broadening is minimal EOF are not reproducible thus leading to irreproducible separation efficiencies EOF in GE is minimal or practically inexistent v dielectric cons t ς ε : tan : zeta potential( SL DL) µ v EOF EOF EOF ε ς E = 4 π η v = E = µ EOF EOF E EOF HPLC flow 5
6 Use of EOF in Capillary Electrophoresis If EOF is more important that electrophoretic mobility, all analytes are dragged by the bulk solvent towards the negative electrode (Mobile Phase??!!) Electropherogram The order of elution is: fastest cation, slower cations, neutrals (single zone), slowest anion, faster anions _ - -- Control of EOF in Capillary Electrophoresis Work at low ph Dynamic coating of the channel walls With Polyethylene glycol (PEG) added to the buffer Polymer layer masks charges and suppress EOF Chemical modification With trimethylchlorosilane-tmcs bonds to the surface and reduces the number of silanol groups- low EOF Sulfonic acid- high EOF Problem: long term stability Use additives to change the viscosity and zeta potential Hydroxy ethyl cellulose or polyvinyl alcohol increase viscosity of the run buffer and thus reduce v EOF. Organic solvents: methanol (reduce) and acetonitrile (increase) Cationic surfactants such as dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (DoTAB) adsorb onto the capillary walls and thus change the surface charge 6
7 B-4 Separation Efficiency and Resolution Efficiency and resolution depend on both the electrophoretic flow and the EOF Apparent mobility is given by: µ app = µ ep + µ EOF If EOF dominates, all analytes move towards the cathode (-) Efficiency and Resolution If EOF is more important that electrophoretic mobility, all analytes are dragged by the bulk solvent towards the negative electrode (Mobile Phase??!!) Electropherogram The order of elution is: 1. fastest cation 2. slower cations 3. neutrals (single zone), 4. slowest anion 5. faster anions v = t ( µ + µ ) ep EOF 2 L L = = v µ V app E = µ app t : migration time L : length of capillary V L 7
8 Band Broadening Main contribution to band broadening: longitudinal diffusion Peak dispersion is proportional to the diffusion coefficient, D and the migration time of the analyte In theory: efficiency superior to LC. Calculated N at operating voltages are on the order of In practice: joule heating, sample injection and adsorption of analyte to matrix decrease efficiency σ 2 = 2 D t = 2 L N = σ 2 µ app V = 2 D 2 D L µ V app 2 Resolution Resolution depends on the difference in electrophoretic mobility What is the equivalent in LC? Resolution depends on the applied voltage V, the apparent electrophoretic mobility and the diffusion coefficient D. What are the equivalents of these terms in LC? Optimizing resolution: R s = µ ep V 1 µ app D 8

Positively charged ampholytes will move towards the cathode (highest pi at end). Cathodic side becomes more acidic Anodic side becomes more basic ph range determined by choice of ampholytes 12
