SURVEY OF THE DETECTORS USED IN ANALYTICAL ISOTACHOPHORESIS<br />

Lmin. = minimum detectable zone length; Qmin, = minimum detectable amount of ionic component in gramequivalents; t,, = average time for<br />

analysis; I = direct driving current; Scan = possrbdity of scanning.<br />

*A coating on the sensing electrodes gives the detector ‘specific’ characteristics.<br />

**The use of strong Wabsorbing counter ions of which the W absorption is a function of the pH changes the specific characteristics of this detector<br />

into ‘general’ characteristics. 8<br />
