Principles of Operation (Continued)
In the chip, each sample is sipped from the microplate by negative
pressure until a sufficient quantity is loaded in the chip. The sample
is then moved electrophoretically into the central channel. As the
fragments move down the central channel, they separate by size,
and then pass the laser, which excites the fluorescent dye bound to
the molecule. The software plots fluorescence intensity versus time
and produces electropherograms for each sample (see
).

The data can be viewed in a gel-like format on the Gel Tab to
achieve the appearance of a slab gel. (The colors of the gel can be
changed.)
