Abstract
Systems and methods for performing multiple parallel chromatographic separations are provided. Microfluidic cartridges containing multiple separation columns allow multiple separations to be performed in a limited space by a single instrument containing high-pressure pumps and analyte detectors. The use of pressure fit interfaces allows the microfluidic cartridges to easily be removed and replaced within the instrument, either manually or robotically.
