Capillary electrophoresis system Capel-205

Capel-205 is a new generation capillary electrophoresis system with advanced options and design. Its main features are:

• Extended autosampler capacity up to 59 positions, allowing to provide overnight analyses
• Standard centrifuge-type vials of 1.5mL volume (Eppendorf-type) closed with their original caps are used for all solutions
• Specially designed unit automatically opens vials just prior to their use, thus preventing evaporation and any kinds of cross-contamination
• New HV block provides voltage up to +/- 30 kV thus improving separation efficiency and decreasing analysis time
• Optionally – integrated unit to control the state of the inner capillary surface provides significantly improved migration time reproducibility especially when analyzing samples with complex matrices

Thus Capel-205 can be the very best choice not only for R&D and low-scale analyses but also for the customers dealing routinely with dozens of samples per day.

High performance capillary electrophoresis is based on the differential migration of components of aqueous samples within a narrow fused silica capillary driven by an electric field. Separated solutes are quantitatively detected at the capillary outlet by a high sensitive optical system based on direct or indirect UV absorbance.
