ABSTRACT:
A separation capillary in a capillary electrophoresis apparatus is less than 20 microns high to restrict the flow velocity profile of the EOF to being substantially parabolic. The capillary is preferably rectangular with an aspect ratio of at least 2:1, and preferably at least 10:1, in order to increase bulk flow. Hydrostatic back pressure is applied to the capillary to reduce or cancel the EOF. The back pressure is preferably at least 50% as strong as the forward-directed EOF in order to reduce EOF, and thereby to increase resolution.
