Abstract

An electrophoresis device where the end of the electrophoresis channel has a part that extends vertically. The electrophoresis channel includes a first access port at one end of the channel and a second port at the other end of the channel, which are in the same horizontal plane. In this way, there is a less than 0.1% hydrostatic pressure differential between two ports and the performance of the device is improved.
