Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus for providing improved sample injection systems and microfluidic devices with structures such as microchambers that can provide relatively large sample volumes. The microchambers can be formed with a geometry to define sample plugs that can be symmetrical from the perspective of a sample load channel and a sample waste channel. Upon selective application of electrical fields, a defined amount of sample can be injected or loaded from a sample channel into the relatively larger interior volume of a sample chamber prior to ejection into a separation channel so that a sample volume can be separated electrophoretically.
