Recently a new technical scale free flow zone electrophoresis cell was proposed, which is intended for the separation of mainly biological substances like proteins, amino acids or even enzymes. To improve flow stability, the cell is shaped like a thin channel. Different transport phenomena will be discussed in this article, which include molecular diffusion and electro‐related effects such as electrohydrodynamics and electroosmosis.
