Abstract
Even if a standby time to the measurement becomes long, a sample in a sample container is prevented from deteriorating. A cooling mechanism is provided in a sample tray for holding a sample plate, or in a plate-mounting portion of a table-type auto sampler of a capillary electrophoresis apparatus, so that the sample plate is cooled during the measurement also.
Claims6
A capillary electrophoresis apparatus comprising:
- an auto sampler which transports a sample container holding a sample to an injection side of a capillary in accordance with a predetermined procedure;
- and
- a cooling means which cools the sample container mounted at a predetermined position on a table of the auto sampler.
A sample tray, comprising:
- a sample plate in which a plurality of sample holes for holding samples are formed in an array;
- a sample tray base which holds the sample plate;
- a septa which prevents the samples held in the sample holes from evaporating;
- and
- a clip which engages with the sample tray base holding the sample plate and integrally holds the sample plate and the septa to the sample tray base, to thereby hold the septa toward an opening side of the sample holes of the sample plate, wherein
- a cooling means is provided in the sample tray base so as to face the sample plate.
