  • Patent number: 7294247
    Abstract: The invention concerns to an electrophoretic separation device comprising a separation channel having at least one in- and outlet opening at the beginning and at the end of the channel and one electrode in the region of the inlet opening and one electrode in the region of the outlet opening. As well the invention concerns to a method for electrophoretic separation. The invention is characterized in that said separation channel is subdivided into at least two sections in series being coupled mutually by a joint providing an electrical connection means having a ion-conductive material separating said channel from a reservoir being apart the channel and provided with an electrode.
