Abstract
Miniaturization of separation columns implies equally reduced volโ umes of injectors, detectors, and the connecting channels. Planar chip technology provides a powerful means for the fabrication of micronโsized structures such as channels. This is demonstrated by two examples. An optical absorbance detector chip exhibits the expected behavior of a 1 mm optical path length cell despite its volume of 1 nL. A capillary electrophoresis device allows integrated injections of 100 pL samples, efficiencies of 70,000 to 160,000 theoretical plates in 10 to 20 seconds, and external laserโinduced fluorescence detection at any capillary length of choice between 5 and 50 mm.

Capillary electrophoresis in its different modes of operation is demonstrated to be a separation technique suitable to be integrated into a planar microdevice. The use of micromachining techniques allows complex capillary geometries to be formed, providing good sensitivity and high separation effici
