Stable Homogeneous Gel for Molecular-Sieving of DNA Fragments in Capillary Electrophoresis
Author
Summary, in English
A polyacrylamide gel crosslinked with allyl-b-cyclodextrin can be used repeatedly for several weeks for the separation of DNA fragments, since bubbles are not generated during a run. Allyl-b-cyclodextrin can easily be synthesized in one step from allylglycidylether and b-cyclodextrin. The plate numbers for DNA fragments, up to about 1500 bp, are high: for the 21 separation of pBR322/HaeIII fragments they were in the range 450 000–1 600 000 m . The resolution was almost independent of the concentration of the crosslinker (allyl-b-cyclodextrin) — in sharp contrast to gels crosslinked with N,N9-methylenebisacrylamide.
