Abstract
The capillary array electrophoresis system of the present invention comprises a plurality of capillaries whose inside is filled with migration medium and at least parts of which are aligned in a plane, a means for making lasers substantially simultaneously irradiate transparent parts of the plurality of capillaries along the direction of alignment of the plurality of capillaries so as to excite fluorephore labels of migrated and separated samples, a fluorescence detection means for detecting fluorescence radiating from the fluorephore labels, from a direction crossing the direction of the alignment, the transparent parts of the plurality of capillaries are surrounded by a transparent gas, the cross section of the capillary of the transparent part is a circle and the ratio of the outside diameter to the inside diameter of the capillary ranges from 1 to 7.
