Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multiplexed, absorbance-based electrophoresis system for analyzing multiple samples simultaneously without use of a mask or slit. SOLUTION: This system consists of a light source, a planar array of capillary tubes and a detector positioned off-axis with the light source and positioned on-axis with and parallel to the planar array of capillary tubes. Other embodiments include vacuum source attached to the capillary tubes to increase the speed of detection. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
