Provided is an apparatus for separating, in a medium, a component from a composition comprising: n (1) an array of three or more electrodes arrayed along a pathway along which molecules of the composition are transported; and n (2) a power source device for delivering to voltage to the electrodes; wherein the voltages delivered to the electrode array by the power source device are effective to: n (a) alter the relative movement along the transport pathway of two or more of the molecules caused by a motive force, or n (b) cause the molecules to move along the transport pathway. |
