Capillary electrophoresis system

摘要

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. 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.

主权项

1. An electrophoresis console to enhance workflow, comprising:
a console housing an operable multiplex capillary electrophoresis system; a plurality of externally accessible drawers for holding sample plates or buffer plates in said console; and an x-z mechanical stage motion control system having an x direction membrane potentiometer for absolute position control and a z direction membrane potentiometer for absolute position control built within said console to move said sample plates or buffer plates back and forth and up and down from any one of said drawers to an injection position of said capillary electrophoresis system and back.
