Abstract

A simple construction of a split-flow injector eliminating some common problems connected with the use of such devices is described. It consists of a low-pressure pump, an injection valve and a delivery tube in which the separating capillary inlet is fixed. The sample is injected without moving the separating capillary inlet and without interrupting the applied voltage. The grounded electrophoretic electrode is close to the injection valve so that all metal parts of the injector are kept at a sufficiently low potential. Minimum length and small internal diameter of delivery tube minimizes additional sample zone broadening. The effects of some experimental parameters, such as the position of the separation capillary inlet with respect to the background solution flow direction and background solution flow-rate are experimentally studied. The injector was tested primarily for the electrokinetic injection.
