High-performance electrophoresis is the electrophoretic equivalent of high-performance liquid chromatography. Very efficient cooling is obtained because the experiments are performed in glass tubes of small diameter (0.05–0.3 mm) with a wall thickness of only 0.1–0.2 mm. Under these conditions the thermal deformation of a zone is small even at high field strengths, which allows high resolution and short run times. The solutes are recorded directly in the glass tube as they migrate electro-phoretically through the stationary UV detector of a free-zone electrophoresis or gel-scanning apparatus. Accordingly there is no delay in the detection caused by time-consuming derivatization (staining).The electrophoresis can be performed both in sieving and non-sieving gels and also in carrier-free solution. An analysis, which may comprise low-molecular-weight compounds, proteins, nucleic acids, viruses, etc., takes at present 10–60 min. This time can be considerably reduced by using a liquid-cooled electrophoresis tube. About 0.01–1 μg of material is suitable in the case of proteins.
