Alternatively, the sampling and sample injection operations may be performed using a gas mobile phase, and the separation operations may be performed using a liquid mobile phase.
According to the present invention, preferably, the sample chip can be reused. After sampling, sample introduction and separation analysis of one sample are completed, the surface bearing the sample is thoroughly cleaned by using a cleaning solution before analysis of the next or next batch of samples is carried out, so that cross contamination among different samples is reduced.
