PCT No. PCT/SE93/00305 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 7, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 7, 1994 PCT Filed Apr. 7, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/20435 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 14, 1993The present invention comprises a method Of detecting and quantifying components separated by capillary electrophoresis or other techniques using thin capillaries in the separation. The method of the present invention comprises irradiating the whole or large parts of the capillary at short time intervals and detecting the fluorescence originating from the sample components, preferably by a CCD detector (charge coupled device). Thereby, an instantaneous image of the progress of the separation process is obtained. The present invention further comprises an apparatus for performing this detection.
