  • Auxiliary heater for capillary electrophoresis instruments for enhanced sequencing applications
    Publication number: 20020144906
    Abstract: The present invention provides an auxiliary heater for use in a capillary electrophoresis device. The auxiliary heater includes a heating element and a thermally non-conductive housing. The auxiliary heater is disposed around the capillary array of the electrophoresis device along a portion of its length. The auxiliary heater is maintained at a temperature above that of the heating chamber of the electrophoresis device. The auxiliary heater allows increased read lengths and shorter run times than existing capillary electrophoresis devices.
