Abstract
The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for the high resolution, high output electrophoretic separation of molecules. In preferred embodiments, the methods and apparatus are of use for DNA sequencing. The apparatus comprises a hybrid device, comprising a microfabricated chip injector attached to an array of one or more capillaries. The chip injector is designed with incorporation and injector channels that precisely match the capillaries, to minimize or eliminate dead volume in the system. DNA sequencing runs of over 700 bases, with a run time of less than one hour, may be accomplished with the methods and apparatus disclosed herein.
