Electrophoretic focusing on inverse electromigration dispersion (EMD) gradient is a new analytical technique based on a unique separation principle where weak non-amphoteric ionogenic species are focused, separated and transported to the detector by an EMD profile of suitable properties. The present work extends the theoretical description of this method by introducing the concept of resolution and deriving the fundamental equation expressing resolution as function of basic system parameters. The results indicate that at constant current operation, resolution is proportional to the square root of time. For variable current regimes (e.g. constant voltage), the time variable is replaced by the product of electric current and passed electric charge. Computer simulations for a model pair of substances support the validity of the presented theory and confirm the theoretical conclusion that resolution can be increased by allowing longer electromigration of the gradient in terms of time or passed charge.
