Abstract:
A method includes providing a system comprising an electrophoresis cartridge interface that releasably engages with an electrophoresis cartridge that includes an anode, a cathode, and at least one electrophoresis capillary that is in fluid communication with the anode and the cathode. The method further includes receiving the electrophoresis cartridge at said electrophoresis cartridge interface and automatically establishing at least one of (i) optical communication between an optical detection assembly of the system and a portion of the at least one electrophoresis capillary, (ii) electrical communication between the system and the anode and cathode, (iii) fluidic communication between the system and the at least one electrophoresis capillary, (iv) thermal communication between the system and the electrophoresis cartridge or the at least one electrophoresis capillary; (v) electromagnetic communication between the system and the electrophoresis cartridge and (vi) magnetic communication between the system and the electrophoresis cartridge.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for sample preparation, processing and analysis. Also provided in the present disclosure is a fully-integrated electrophoresis cartridge which has a small footprint and configured to removably engage with the system.
