A capillary electrophoresis instrument is a scientific device used to separate and analyze molecules based on their electrophoretic mobility. It consists of a narrow capillary tube, high voltage power supply, buffer solutions, electrodes, and detectors. The sample is injected into the capillary, and an electric field is applied, causing charged molecules to migrate through the capillary at different rates. By measuring the migration time and peak characteristics, the instrument can provide information about the charge, size, and concentration of the molecules in the sample.
