Abstract: Embodiments include systems, apparatuses, and methods to efficiently separate analytes in a sample and elute fractions of the separated analytes. In some embodiments, a method includes introducing a sample in a capillary with a first end ionically coupled to a first running buffer and a second end ionically coupled to a second running buffer to form a pH gradient. The method includes applying a voltage between the first running buffer and the second running buffer, to separate a plurality of analytes in the sample. The method includes disposing the second end of the capillary in a collection well including a chemical mobilizer and applying a voltage to elute one or more analytes from the plurality of analytes in the sample, that have been separated, into the collection well. Embodiments include detection methods to monitor separation of analytes, mobilization of analytes, and/or elution of fractions containing analytes.

Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate to capillary-containing cartridges suitable for use with capillary electrophoresis instruments. Embodiments described herein generally relate to cartridges that include a transfer capillary coupled to a separation capillary. The transfer capillary can be configured to be disposed in sample reservoirs and/or buffer reservoirs. Suction applied through a sheath interface of the transfer capillary and the separation capillary can draw sample/buffer from such reservoirs and bring the sample/buffer into contact with the separation capillary. The separation capillary can be configured for separation of analytes contained within the sample, for example when an electric potential (i.e., voltage) is applied across the separation capillary.

Abstract: A system includes a housing, a cartridge retainer disposed within the housing, a detection assembly disposed within the housing, and a reagent tray holder movably disposed in the housing. The cartridge retainer configured to receive a capillary cartridge having a capillary. The detection assembly includes at least one emitter, a first detector, and a second detector. The detection assembly is configured to transition between a first configuration, in which the first detector detects a first output of the at least one emitter, and a second configuration, in which the second detector detects a second output of the at least one emitter. The reagent tray holder is configured to move relative to the cartridge retainer to place the capillary of the capillary cartridge in fluid communication with a reagent volume.
