Abstract: Bubble and sweep: Free‐flow electrophoresis (FFE) could allow continuous‐flow purification of products from continuous‐flow microsynthesis. However, gas bubbles distort the separation. An open‐electrolyte FFE system avoids this problem. Electrodes placed in chimneys open to the atmosphere mean bubbles are vented directly from the system and cannot enter the separation channel (see picture). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
