right on! Yes from what I can see gel electrophoresis is moving molecules at different rates based on their charges & masses. ESP on the other hand attaches charge to the surfaces of tiny particles. That’s the thing – direct biomass distillation of cannabinoids tends to produce a ‘fog’ or ‘mist’, perhaps due to solid material particles that act as nuclei–as opposed to a molecularly homogenous ‘vapor’ (I think the commercial offering that uses ESP, cited above, is another misnomer)
Here’s my experiments over the course of about five months June to August 2019.
first tests:
larger batch scale (maybe 4 lbs in the column)
ESP crude collection in action:
semi continuous test rig–never got it dialed in (never was able to sort out particle separation from the vapor/mist stream) - figure it could have hit 50 lbs per hour or so.
