Abstract
A disposable cartridge for a capillary electrophoresis instrument in which short capillary tube segments are used for simultaneous multiple lane separations. The cartridge contains all separation components of the instrument which come in contact with the sample and is capable of automatically loading a quantitative portion of a bulk sample into the capillary tube segments. Electrophoresis occurs without bulk flow through the capillaries, which are scanned in situ by the instrument.
