1、Designation:E 1470 92(Reapproved 1998)Standard Test Method forCharacterization of Proteins by Electrophoretic Mobility1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1470;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the yea
2、r of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method describes a procedure for determiningthe electrophoretic mobility of proteins of molecular weightgre
3、ater than 10 000 Daltons.1.2 This test method uses automatic Electrophoretic LightScattering(ELS)principles to determine the electrophoreticmobility.1.3 The instrument2simultaneously measures the Dopplershifts of scattered light at four different angles to determine theelectrophoretic mobility distr
4、ibution of protein particles.Themobility is expressed as m-cm/V-s(micron-centimeter/volt-second).1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health pra

6、ng at constant velocity under an applied electri-cal field.The laser light is scattered from moving particles,producing a Doppler shift proportional to the particles veloc-ity.2.2 The instrument response is essentially to a sinusoidal“beat”signal produced at the detector by mixing the scatteredlight
7、 and a reference(unscattered)beam.The frequency of the“beat”signal is equal to the difference Doppler shift andtherefore,to particle speed and direction.3.Significance and Use3.1 The prime purpose of this test method is to provide dataexpressed as either electrophoretic mobility or zeta potentialdis
