Hey!

 

In capillary electrophoresis two terms are often mixed. The litterature many times warns about mixing them, but never explain the differences.

 

In capillary electrophoresis, what is the difference between electrophoretic-flow and electroosmotic-flow?

 

In one place I read: When an electrical potential is applied on the column the ions start to migrate, cations toward cathode and vice versa. Electroosmotic flow.

And in another place I read: Electrophoretic flow is created when the voltage is applied.^10
