The invention relates to a method for transferring a target substance (), particularly a target molecule (), between two liquid phases (), of which at least one phase () comprises the target substance () to be transferred and at least one phase () is an aqueous phase, where at least the aqueous phase () is arranged in one of two electrode chambers () which are electroconductively connected, preferably by charge carrier exchange, and separated in terms of the volumes thereof, preferably where the phases () are arranged together in one of two electrode chambers () which are electroconductively connected and separated in terms of the volumes thereof, and a pH-value modification is generated by the H and/or OH ions created during the electrolysis in the aqueous phase (), said modification initiating a transfer process of the target substance () between the phases (). The invention also relates to the use of the method for enrichment and subsequent isolation of the target substance ().
