    摘要: The present invention provides, in one aspect, an apparatus that comprises a disc-shaped substrate defining (1) a central reservoir region, (2) a plurality of channels in fluid communication with, and emanating substantially radially from, the central reservoir region, the channels being coplanar with each other, and each channel having (i) a proximal end which is linked to the reservoir region, and (ii) a distal end, and preferably (3) for each channel, at least one chamber, and preferably three chambers, linked by a passageway in fluid communication with the distal end of that channel. Preferably, each passageway leads from each chamber in a direction that is initially away from the central reservoir region, whereby centrifugation of the substrate about a central axis that is perpendicular to the channels is effective to disperse liquid from the central reservoir region into the channels and chambers, such that any air bubbles in the chambers, channels, and passageways are forced towards the axis of rotation, when such liquid is present in the central reservoir region.

    摘要: A syringe pump particularly adapted for delivery of small volumes at a high pressure in an accurate and reproducible manner. The syringe pump includes a frame, a motor attached to the frame, and a lead screw drivably connected to the motor. A cover seal is mounted to the front end of the lead screw, the cover seal having grooves formed therein to facilitate mounting and demounting of the cover seal. The pump further includes a cylindrical barrel within which the cover seal reciprocates, the barrel being made of a ceramic material, wherein the barrel is fixedly attached to the frame at the front end and floatably mounted to the frame at the back end. A barrel head is mounted to the front end of the barrel for closing off that end of the barrel, the barrel head including an outlet port for allowing fluid to enter and exit the barrel. In addition, the present invention includes a multi-syringe gradient syringe pump, a liquid chromatography system, a cover seal, and a mixer for mixing multiple flow streams.

    摘要: An instrument for capillary electrophoresis has a vertically translatable carrier holding one end of the capillary and an electrode connected to a power supply, and a rotary carousel for presenting containers of sample and buffer solutions to a load position where the end of the capillary and the electrode may be inserted by operating the carrier. The other end of the capillary and a second electrode connected to the power supply are immersed in an outlet buffer reservoir. The instrument has a vacuum supply for providing a relative vacuum over the solution in the outlet buffer reservoir, so simple material may be injected into the capillary either by electromigration or by differential pressure. After injection, the first end of the capillary and the electrode may be immersed in buffer to accomplish electrophoresis. By manipulating the carousel and carrier, multiple samples may be electrophoresed in series. In a preferred embodiment the instrument includes a flexible duck-billed septum for closing containers while permitting easy access for the electrode and the capillary tube. Also in a preferred embodiment the instrument is controlled by a microprocessor-based controller.
