Abstract
A microcapillary device includes a microcapillary tube. An anode is positioned at a first end of the microcapillary tube. A cathode is positioned at a second end of said microcapillary tube. A plurality of electric field reducing components are spaced apart along a length of the microcapillary tube. The anode and the cathode generate an electric field along the length of the microcapillary tube, and the plurality of electric field reducing components selectively reduce the electric field at spatial intervals along the length of the microcapillary tube.
