Zusammenfassung: | A multi-port electrophoresis system comprising: first and second electrode chambers containing a cathode and an anode respectively, wherein the electrode chambers are disposed relative to one another so that the electrodes are adapted to generate an electric field upon application of a selected electric potential therebetween; at least three adjacently disposed separation chambers disposed between the electrode chambers and separated from adjacent separation chambers and the electrode chambers by ion-permeable barriers adapted to impede convective mixing of the contents of adjacent chambers; a first electrolyte reservoir in fluid communication with at least one of the electrode chambers; at least one sample reservoir in fluid communication with at least one of the separation chambers; means adapted for communicating fluids to the first and second electrode chambers and to the at least three separation chambers; means adapted for communicating an electrolyte between the electrolyte reservoir and at least one of the first and second electrode chambers; and means adapted for communicating at least one fluid between at least one separation chamber and the at least one sample reservoir; wherein application of the selected electric potential causes migration of at least one component through at least one of the ion-permeable barriers. |
