COUNTER FLOW OF ELECTROLYTE 24 1<br />

7.5.6. Counter flow regulated by the current-stabilized power supply; the membrane<br />

Pump<br />

This method is the most accurate and simple, and is therefore discussed in more detail.<br />

The principle is shown in Fig.7.25.<br />

Fig.7.26 can be used to explain the principle of the method and also the principle by<br />

which the electric current through the narrow-bore tube (Ic) is stabilized.<br />

If through the narrow-bore tube, filed with a suitable electrolyte (leading electrolyte),<br />

an electric current is stabilized at Ic, the total voltage needed (V,) is then increasing during<br />

T I<br />

Fig.7.25. Equipment for producing a counter flow of electrolyte regulated by the currentstabilized<br />

power supply. This method of pumping and also the regulation were found to be optimal in<br />

combination with the narrow-bore tube, in spite of the fact that the membrane pump does not have<br />

linear characteristics. 1 = Electronic circuit shown in Fig.7.29; 2 = set of detectors. If the counter<br />

flow of electrolyte is also to be applied for micro-preparative purposes, another means of pumping<br />

can be sought (e.g., an electroendosmotic pump).
