Abstract
The temperature distribution within a wide-gap (3 mm) continuous free- flow electrophoresis (CFFE) chamber was investigated by direct measure ments. The walls of the chambers consisted of Plexiglas and thermocoup les were used as temperature sensors. The study of different operating and heat dissipating conditions revealed that lateral temperature gra dients arise in CFFE chambers in addition to an axial increase in temp erature of 0.25 degrees C per Watt of electric power and per minute of residence time in the absence of cooling.
