Abstract: This invention discloses a design a capillary column for use with electrochemically modulated liquid chromatography (EMLC). The capillary design, which results in a marked reduction in the flow of current through the column, enables the use of a two-electrode column construction that overcomes the mechanical and electrical shortfalls of the conventional standard bore design.

Abstract: A capillary electrophoresis apparatus is disclosed that does not discharge and achieves both compactness and performance even with a part configuration having insufficient spatial distance or creeping distance. This capillary electrophoresis apparatus is provided with a resistance heater for heating capillaries, an electrode holder that holds capillary electrodes and is connected to a high-voltage unit, and a conductive member that at least partially comprises metal and has been grounded to a low potential. The electrode holder and conductive member are in contact with heat-dissipating rubber disposed there between that composes a structure comprising an insulation member. As a result of this configuration, discharge risk is reduced through the reduction of the potential of parts near the high-voltage unit and the slow reduction of the high potential of the high-voltage unit.
