Abstract
A capillary electrophoresis device including a capillary array, and a method of manufacturing the capillary array, are provided. During the manufacture of the capillary array, a plurality of capillaries are arranged in a substantially parallel arrangement and are fixed with a fixing member, to form a ribbon-shaped member. A detection cell can be arranged on the ribbon shaped member. The capillary array can achieve uniform heat dissipation thereby allowing electrophoretic velocity to be independent of the temperature characteristics of the capillaries. The plurality of capillaries are not attracted or repelled to each other by way electrostatic effects during electrophoresis, and the productivity of the capillary array can be improved.
