Abstract: The invention is an improved multiplex capillary electrophoresis instrument or module with at least four and preferably six user-accessible vertically stacked drawers. An x-z stage moves samples from the user accessible drawers to the capillary array for analysis. An additional mechanical stage moves the array from side-to-side. The x-z stage, coupled with the additional array stage allows the system to sample all wells of a 384 well plate with a 96-capillary array. A computer program allows users to add capillary electrophoresis jobs to a queue corresponding to the analysis of rows or plates of samples without stopping or interrupting runs in progress.

Abstract: A capillary electrophoresis system includes a capillary reservoir. The capillary reservoir includes a capillary tip flow chamber configured to receive respective capillary tips and to conduct fluid past the capillary tips, and an electrode flow chamber in which an electrode is disposed and configured to conduct fluid past the electrode, the electrode flow chamber being separate from and in fluid communication with the capillary tip flow chamber. An ultraviolet (UV) light absorbance-based multiplexed capillary electrophoresis system includes a first enclosure and a second enclosure. The first enclosure covers a UV light source, and includes a slit. The second enclosure covers the first enclosure, a collimating lens, and a capillary window.

A double-set of enclosures surrounding the light source enables collection of high-quality data. The invention also may include a capillary reservoir with separate flow channels for the capillary tips and electrode.

Abstract: The invention is a multiplex, pulsed-field capillary electrophoresis instrument with the ability to analyze DNA fragments with sizes greater than 50,000 bp, greater than 100,000 bp and even granter than 150,000 base pairs. The parallel capillary electrophoresis system allows for the simultaneous analysis of at least 12 samples while applying a pulse or varying electric field for separation.
