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. 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.
