registering a vial containing said sample to the end of
said capillary at said first exit to immerse said end in
sample to inject a quantity of sample to said capillary;
registering vials containing electrolyte to the distal
ends of said capillary to immerse the ends of said capillary
in electrolyte;
and applying an electropotential across the vials
