In modern isoelectric focusing (IEF) systems, where (i) convective mixing is prevented by gels or small cross-sectional area separation channels, (ii) current densities vary spatially due to the presence of electrode vessels with much larger cross-sectional areas than those of the gels or separation channels, and (iii) electrophoretic and diffusive fluxes do not balance each other, stationary, steady-state pH gradients cannot form (open-system IEF). Open-system IEF is currently described as a two-stage process: A rapid IEF process forms the pH gradient from the carrier ampholytes (CAs) in the first stage, then isotachophoretic processes degrade the pH gradient in the second stage as the extreme pI CAs are moved into the electrode vessels where they become diluted. Based on the ratios of the local effective mobilities and the local conductivities ( μ L eff ( x ) $\mu _{\rm{L}}^{{\rm{eff}}}( x )$ / κ ( x ) $\kappa ( x )$ values) of the anolyte, catholyte, and the CAs, we pointed out in the preceding paper (Vigh G, Gas B, Electrophoresis 2023, 44, 675-88) that in open-system IEF, a single process, transient, bidirectional isotachophoresis (tbdITP) operates from the moment current is turned on. In this paper, we demonstrate some of the operational features of the tbdITP model using the new ITP/IEF version of Simul 6.
