ABSTRACT:
According to one aspect of the disclosure, there is provided an apparatus (210) for performing electrochromatography. The apparatus (210) includes a die block (222) which is movable to exert a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure on a chromatography sample plate during performance of an electrochromatography procedure. A method of performing electrochromatography is also disclosed.
