Abstract
The invention is a multiplex, pulsed-field capillary electrophoresis instrument with the ability to analyze DNA fragments with sizes greater than 150,000 base pairs. The parallel capillary electrophoresis system allows for the simultaneous analysis of at least 12 samples while applying a pulse or varying electric field for separation. Sequences of pulse-field electric fields are iterated to achieve accurate separation of DNA smears.
