Abstract
A capillary electrophoresis system includes a plurality of capillaries arranged in parallel on a vertical plane at an identical distance from each other, each of which has a sample injection end immersed in a cathode buffer 23 and pointed downward vertically to facilitate connection between the cathode buffer 23 and a sample solution. The sample elution end is connected via a pump block 11 and a connection tube 3 to an anode buffer 24. The height is made identical between the liquid levels for buffers 23 and 24 to prevent movement of the separation medium in the capillaries. The sample introduced from the sample injection end 20 moves upward vertically via electrophoresis to the sample elution end in the capillary and is passed through and detected at the fluorescence detection position 19. The effective separation length is thus decreased to 10 cm or less to attain high throughput.
