Abstract:
1. A high density capillary array electrophoresis plate comprising: an array of parallel microfabricated separation channels formed on a surface of a first microfabricated substrate and a corresponding surface of a second substrate bonded to the surface of said first substrate, each of said channels having a first end and a second end; an array of sample ports on a first surface of said capillary array electrophoresis plate; an array of sample passageways connecting said array of sample ports and said array of separation channels, wherein each of said array of sample passageways is perpendicular to said first surface of said capillary array electrophoresis plate; an array of waste ports on a second surface of said capillary array electrophoresis plate; an array of waste passageways connecting said array of waste ports and said array of separation channels, wherein each of said array of waste passageways is perpendicular to said second surface of said capillary array electrophoresis plate; a waste reservoir mount mounted on said second surface of said capillary array electrophoresis plate; and at least one electrode coupleable to said waste reservoir mount; wherein each separation channel of the plurality of separation channels is in fluid communication with at least one dedicated sample port through one of said array of sample passageways, and is in fluid communication with said waste reservoir through one of said array of waste ports.
