Abstract
The method for improving sample concentration in capillary electrophoresis by extracting the sample buffer from the capillary column using the electro-osmotic flow while the sample components are stacked into the support buffer utilizes a system for this technique. The system has a separation column 11, sample introduction means 16 for injecting the sample solution, an injection detector means 20 for detecting the volume of injected sample solution, a separation detector means 21 for detecting the sample components, power supply means 17 for applying a high voltage along the separation column 11 for reversing the direction of the electro-osmotic flow thereby causing extraction of the sample buffer from the separation column and afterward providing the separation sample into its components.
