An electrophoresis apparatus is generally disclosed for sequentially
analyzing a single sample or multiple samples having one or more analytes
in high or low concentrations. The apparatus comprises a relatively
large-bore transport capillary which intersects with a plurality of
small-bore separation capillaries and includes a valve system. Analyte
concentrators, having antibody-specific (or related affinity)
chemistries, are stationed at the respective intersections of the
transport capillary and separation capillaries to bind one or more
analytes of interest. The apparatus allows the performance of two or more
dimensions for the optimal separation of analytes. The apparatus may also
include a plurality of valves surrounding each of the analyte
concentrators to localize each of the concentrators to improve the
binding of one or more analytes of interest.
