We present a new method for the direct injection of liquid sample into a capillary electrophoresis (CE) device. Instead of
a double-T injection mechanism, a single inlet provided with a membrane filter is used. From a reservoir on top of this
inlet, the liquid directly enters the separation channel through the membrane. The driving force is a short electrical pulse.
This avoids an additional sample channel, so that the chip needs only three microfluidic connects and no mechanical
sample pumping is demanded. The high injection reproducibility and the comparatively simple setup open up the way for
mobile application of soil analysis.
