Simulated temporal capillary precipitant equilibration for one-dimensional diffusion as a function of axial position (L) for an ammonium sulfate reservoir solution at 4°C. The capillary length is 4.9 cm between the membrane and sealed end. The negative length indicates the position in the gel plug. (a) No gel plug; (b) 1 cm 3% agarose gel plug; (c) 2 cm 3% agarose gel plug. Equilibration times: 24 h (blue ––); 120 h (– – –); 240 h (green ––); 480 h (- - -); 720 h (– · –). |
