A theoretical model is presented and an analytical expression derived to predict the locations of stationary steady-state zone positions in ITP as a function of current for a straight channel under a constant applied voltage. Stationary zones may form in the presence of a countercurrent flow whose average velocity falls between that of a pure leader zone and of a pure trailer zone. A comparison of model predictions with experimental data from an anionic system shows that the model is able to predict the location of protein zones with reasonable accuracy once the ITP stack has formed. This result implies that an UP stack can be precisely directed by the operator to specific positions in a channel whence portions of the stack can be removed or redirected for further processing or analysis.
