ABSTRACT:
A analyte species separation system including a fluid flow field disposed between confining surfaces, the flow field having a first flow component flowing in a first direction and a second flow component flowing in a second, transverse, direction, and an electric field configured to cause analyte species to move in the separation flow field at least in a direction opposite to the first flow component, a analyte injection channel in fluid communication with the flow field and an analyte separation target channel or otherwise a collector in fluid communication with the flow field, the system configure so that an analyte species in an analyte sample injected into the flow field traverses at least a portion of the flow field toward the collector target channel with said second flow component, enabling analyte species separation parallel to the first direction and movement in the second direction so that analyte species having mobilities outside a selected mobility range do not enter the target channel and/or an analyte species having a selected mobility is directed into the target channel.
