Claim:
1. A method for the simultaneous separation and detection of analytes in a sample through two or more separation channels using electrophoresis, the method comprising: injecting a sample into an electrophoresis system comprising a fluid channel having a fluid channel inlet at one end and a fluid channel outlet at the opposite end, wherein the fluid channel inlet is in fluid communication with a single sample injection port, and wherein an interface zone is positioned between the fluid channel inlet and the fluid channel outlet, two or more separation channels with entrances positioned in the interface zone of the fluid channel, and a ground electrode located in the interface zone between the entrances to the two separation channels, wherein the sample is injected through the single sample injection port which is in fluid communication with the two separation channels; separating analytes in each of the separation channels; and detecting the analytes separated in each of the separation channels.
