Free-flow isoelectric focusing (FFIEF) is a useful tool for separating and purifying proteins, DNA, cells, and organelles, etc. However, the online monitoring of each fraction during an FFIEF run has not been achieved yet, resulting in a lack of process monitoring of FFIEF. Herein, an online array ultraviolet (UV) detection system was developed for the easy assay of FFE fractions. The detector was integrated with an apparatus of FFIEF with 32 fractions to show the online monitoring, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme were chosen as the model proteins for manifesting the UV detector performance. The experiments revealed that (i) all the fluidic cells had good linearity from 0.03 to 10 mg/mL BSA and fair limits of detection (LODs) of 0.01 mg/mL; (ii) all the cells had good uniformity of UV absorbance; and (iii) the deviations of intra-day and inter-day of UV detector were respectively 3.8% and 5.8%, indicating the fair stability of the UV detector. The UV detector could be well used for the process monitoring of two model proteins through the whole FFIEF run, and the online absorbance assay of proteins at the end of FFIEF. The UV detector herein had the evident potential for rapid and convenient assay of protein fraction in FFIEF as well as other FFE modes.
