Abstract:
1. An electrophoresis method, comprising: passing a sample introduced into a transport passage through a first analyte concentrator in the transport passage which captures a first analyte of interest and through a second analyte concentrator in the transport passage which captures a second analyte of interest; the first analyte concentrator being in an intersection of the transport passage with a first separation passage; the second analyte concentrator being in an intersection of the transport passage with a second separation passage; eluting the captured first analyte of interest from the first analyte concentrator; eluting the captured second analyte of interest from the second analyte concentrator; passing the eluted first analyte of interest by at least electrophoresis migration via the first separation passage to a detector system which identifies and characterizes the first analyte of interest; and passing the eluted second analyte of interest by at least electrophoresis migration via the second separation passage to the detector system which identifies and characterizes the second analyte of interest.
