The construction of a simplified separation device and a method for isolating the target protein from a mixture of proteins by a free-flow electrophoresis method is proposed. The effectiveness of the device was theoretically and experimentally demonstrated on the example of separation of hemoglobin protein and human serum albumin. This method of separation is characterized by ease of use and good productivity.
